ok it seems i have done a piston ring on my elxr6 turbo.now basicly i after some tips on rebuilding my motor so i do it right first time. ok my xr engine was a bog stocker never opened up and was turboed in 2007.best power was 278.8 rwkw on 12psi.i am rebuilding engine with forged bottom end and top end with the usual turbo cam and bigger valve springs.i have no clue on good brand names for things like pistons/rods and all other goodies as im buying all parts myself not the shops prices.so any tips on the good parts to get. cheers matt

Do a search on...

* Spool Rods
* CP Pistons
* If your cashed up, Atomic
I have crow springs, and fitted with no machining of the AU head.

Cheers

thanks daz i will have a look

Get in quick with spool .. There prices are rising .. But the price on there site is there old price..

also have a look on boostedfalcon.com, there is group buy going on right now for this sort of stuff, expect to spend about $1900 on rods and pistons. pretty good value actually. Mahle pistons, I think spool rods.

I am running CP forgies, and argo H-Beam rods. nice combo.

get your block inspected see if you need a bore or just a hone, then you will know what size pistons to order.

Throw an ACL bearing and gasket kit through it, linish your crank as a minimum. new oil pump, oil pressure sender, since its coming out, a full gearbox fulid change as a minimum. check your AUX drive for excessive or dundue wear. chuck a BF starter in while you have the opportunity, the skin in your knuckles will thank you for it.

hey thanks guy i apreciate that cause its the tips im after hey.never had a 4.0 rebuilt and dont know all that much about them..im a 351 clevland man from the old school.
