Rebuilding motor, need suggestions

[tmosser]

Well since wesico makes 2.3l pistons in std size which is what I wanted. But itll prob need a bore to get everything straight

Aint nothing wrong with a 2.3. I'll be joining you someday if you do :)

Since talking with a couple friends, coming to conclusion no one knows or will know how long the motor has had thrse low numbers (ive seen posts from 09 than 2010 on this motor showing weird numbers from chucke) im going to install new plugs and a diy cop set up I bought from troy, new air filter and a gs 3port ebc and take it to shane within the next two weeks and get it tuned. If it makes power im just going to leave it alone if its a dog ill rebuild it. So the dyno will be my truth moment.

After having a 2.4 I would never go back to a 2.0 on a street car. My 2 pence.

2.4 is beast on streets. Just cruising out of boost was awesome.

If your motor has some decent miles on it or it needs to be bored, then you can't use std size pistons.

Shane, after talking with a couple people I have another option of just getting it tuned seeing if it makes power than go from there. Even though it has low compression if it made descent power what do you think? Id like to make the car last till next winter so I can save up money for a rebuild but I dunno if itll make it all summer.

Don't beat the hell out of it and it'll probably be fine; or do beat the hell out of it and add oil if/as needed.

[tmosser]

It doesnt use any oil in between oil changes

[Kracka]

Then you're worrying about compression numbers that a beater-DSMer would die for ;)
