Rebuilding motor, need suggestions

C3L1CA · 01-16-2013

Couldn't he freshen up the stock motor though if he isn't looking for crazy power? New rings/ get the head looked at, maybe honed and some new bearings would be a lot cheaper than a full build.

I'm also kind of confused on how a stroker motor wouldn't last as long as a 2.0. Could anybody explain that one to me?

I would have to imagine it has to do with rod ratios and piston speed.

I agree. If you do want more displacement, the 2.3 seems to make more sense than the 2.4 since it retains the OEM block, crank, and MIVEC oiling system for IX's.
