8) Hi ! Newbee here. with some noob questions.
I was debating myself between buying a rebuilt eng from reputable company like ATK or rebuilt myself.
I've never rebuilt motor before. But I decided to give it a try.
I have 87 runner with 22re & I just bought a core long block for $100.
My runner runs OK with existing motor so I want to take time and build it right little by little.
I decided to go with EB's head & cam so I just need to rebuild lower end.
Here's my questions.
1. Does anybody know a good machine shop in SoCal?
2. What are the approx. estimate for preparing block, crank & rods?
3. For dollar to performance and/or reliability matter, Is it better to go with new crank & rods ? or remachine them?
4. What should I look for or be caustious when I'm selecting machine shop?
5. And last, what size is the best? (.020 .040 ETC...)
Any comments would greatly help.. Thanks
