Dan - I've said before man I honestly think you're best just getting headgaskets done and maybe pistons and headstuds
Keep it under 5k and that's it. Don't screw around with more
When you want over 300 then it will only be costing you another 1000 for labour to remove and refit, which will not be much for what you're going to be chasing.
Keep it simple. If you want big power you need to plan or spend big
Thank Mick.
I have thought about this and i cant see me getting a second chance at doing it..... wife just doesnt understand it. So if i cant get sleeving done then that just means then that my max output will only sit around that 280-290kw atw to keep it all happy.
I have spoken to NRG and he said around $1500-1700 for the R & R
I then spoke to the Machine guy . He said budget $2k, max 2.5K. Service heads, deck and hone and boring of the block.
Then parts on top.
So if i keep the parts around $2-$2.5k then that will be all good for $6-$6.5k.
So yes Celtic and Tuspeed (<-there's $1500 in cams and springs) are FAR beyond the $2.5K, so im having a rethink on parts and have a couple of quotes coming back to me.
Dan.
Should probably take into account little extras that Nick might find along the way, there was a few extras I ended up getting. Good example was the radiator.
, ill keep u posted
