Engine Building-What Products?

[blageo23]

Im researching prices on engine parts but dont know what to go with.
Shortblock: (2.4L)
Im set on eagle rods, wiseco pistons(8.7:1), Mitsu Front cover and BS elim.
What Bearings are good?
ARP mains or stock?

Head:
Im set on 5 Angle Vavle Job, HKS 280 cams, Greddy Cam Gears, Cometic HG and ARP Headstuds.
Im thinking Manley 1mm over valves, Manley Springs and retainers, New mitsu Rockers, New "revised" Lifters.
Do I need better Valve guides, Vavle stem seals, Keepers?

Also Over all are the parts I am set on good? Whats a good local machine shop(shoreview)? Ive been trying to research this and cant really find a solid answer.

Thanks,
Mike

Power level you are building for? 1g or 2g head?

Stay with stock main bolts (new only please).

I hear good and back about the Weisco pistons. Buy the Magnus designed Ross pistons 8.5-9.0:1cp and set them at their recommended clearnce.

Never tried the Manley valve train on an import. I have Supertech components with no problems yet.

I'm on my second Cometic HP HG, I pushed the first one a little too hard. If this one starts to go, I'll switch over to the HKS "Stopper" HG.

Power level... I have no idea. Anywhere from 300-600 haha. Its a 1G head with a 6bolt 2.4l.

sounds almost identical to my setup. i used new stock mains, new front case, eagles, wisecos, 272s, arp headstuds, cometic non-hp HG, crower springs and ti retainers with stock size SS valves.

all that in a 2g head though, hyundai bottom end.

like you are doing, i did some research and just went with proven parts. i'm not trying to set any records here, i just want a running motor.

Sounds like you are on the right track, as far as bearings go we prefer King or ACL which we get a pretty good deal on btw ;)

As far as main studs we have made over 650whp without them. It also saves you the cost of getting it align honed which is a must if you go that route.

Chris could you send me a price on the above listed parts at you convenience. Thanks! Thanks for your input guys.

MAP built me a motor comparable to what you're looking for. I went 2.0 with mahle pistons, eagle rods, King Bearings, Stock Mains, Cometic HG, crower springs/retainters, stock valves, 272's, etc. So far so good.

Are you going to be doing the assembly?
I would recommend King or ACL bearings (I've been using them for 2+ years without problems).
A turned down balance shaft is a good option, it gives you the rear bearing support.
ARP Mains are nice, but the stockers hold plenty of power. Since I have seen stock motors that aren't "perfect" we have all of our blocks inspected and most of them atleast honed. You get what you pay for when it comes to engines and machine work. I would highly recommend having the block machined with a torque plate.

Any stainless steel valve will be happier in a brass valve guide. We have had excellent success with SI products.
If you need help fell free to send myself or John a pm. Combined I think we have the most 4g63/mitsubishi high performance engine experience (motor assembly, machining, parts research and development) in the twin cities. (Minus a few machine shops that have been used by multiple shops. The assembly techniques are not the same, but they do know what "we" like to see for machining tolerances).

I will be doing the engine build myself. After taking the class at school it brought up my confidence a bit to do it myself AGAIN. Maybe this one will make it past the 1000 mile mark! Thanks for the advise.
Josh, and Chris as Im doing prices right now could you send me prices on the listed parts above at your convenience. That would be great!

Be sure to have them set the valve guides a little under stock height. That will give you room for big cams. Go like .050" under just for good measure. Mine were all over the place when I got mine back, I took it back and had them redo it.

I have an almost identical engine. Wiseco 8.8's, eagles, ACL bearings, ported head with Crower springs, Fidanza cam gears, SI 1mm over SS nitride coated valves. You will be really happy with the setup.
