bottom end rebuild kit


I checked out the link to those pistons, the price isnt too bad on them. I was seeing prices like $800 a set. For $350 including the rings and wrist pins thats not bad at all. I am trying to decide if it is worth machining this motor or if I should find another with a decent bottom end and swap my top end parts on to it. I found an 86 merkur for 500$ but am still waiting on a response from the guy about the condition its in.
 
I think that price does not include rings.

Stinger Performance

Bo-Port

Both are awesome vendors, and CPs are probably just a little bit better than Diamonds. I guess they can't list prices anymore, but for pistons, rings, and pins, those used to be $500-550.
 
on the stock TC rods and pistons, you can run up to 25psi, wouldnt run any more than that if your staying safe, and thats on a good tune with arp head studs and arp rod bolts. (the set-up im currently running.
any more information, www.TurboRangerForums.com is a great source of information.
 
ok thanks for all the advice! The kit did include rings but i found a full kit at rpm machine for 550 which includes pistons, rings, bearings, cam, gaskets, wrist pins, and everything you need. I am going to look into the arp head bolts and I will let you know how it turns out.:icon_thumby:
 
That's a good price, just make sure they are including forged pistons, not cast low compression pistons. I have a motor with cast lo compression pistons in it. It could run 17 psi with no problems, maybe more, but it's still a gamble.
