Hey cats and kittens. I am making my return to the depths of DSM hell. I bought a beater and decided to rebuild the 92 beast. So, like it or not, you will prolly be seing my posts around this place again. I would just like to say, WELCOME BACK, to myself. :brownnoser:

Joe

Hey RollinJoe!! :D Glad your back!!

WooT!!! Glad your back!

Didnt you have a really nice stock blue 1G? What happened to that one?

Yes I still have the blue beast. My buddy runs a Mini storage so he is hooking me up with a 10x30 for like 20bux a month. That is where most of my work will take place. I am currently looking for a good shop to do some of the machine work I will need done. Hmmm, where to find one. ;) Anyway, I plan on doing some basic junk like .020 over, 9:1 pistons, port everything, etc. If anyone wants to lend a hand it would be welcome, or advice for a first time rebuilder.

Joe

Why does the engine need rebuilding already?

The engine doesn't "need" rebuilding. But I see it like this, higher compression, stronger rods, balanced crank, bored .040 over, and more boost equals more fun. Plus, I am in school for Auto Service Tech so its good practice. And BTW my engine has 60k+ on it now, not that it matters. :razz2:

why not just go .010 over? Don't take out more than you need to, you might even be able to get away with just honing it.

yeah, do it cheap, and do it right :)

If it aint broke, then it still works well. And if you make it better, the possibilities are endless. Instead of waiting to skip a tooth, or crank walk, or whatever, build the fuck out of a VERY VERY Clean and internally near flawless car. 6/4 bolt, ran 14.2 near stock (air filter and boost controller). Not a bad place to start...

So the saga begins...

And your money ends.
