First up i have used the "search" feature many times but i cant find the info im after!!
ok, im currently rebuilting my motor, (3.5l) but like every one else im goin to tweak it a little,
- the bottom end is getting all new bearing, balanced, honed, new rings, etc.....im looking at upgrading the pistons to the ACL 'DOHC" pistons out of a pajero, what year pajero was DOHC, also is there any machining involed, e.g are the pistons a different bore and stoke ? or do they fit perfectly? do they bolt up to the factory conrod?
- the heads are goin to be fitted with a Stage 2 camshaft or near those specs, RPW valve springs and cam gears, decked, ported polished and bench flowed, how much heavier/stronger are there valve springs than standard? in % Wise,....
- when im getting the heads decked how much shall i remove (in thou) with those mods e.g 0.50 thou?? from the heads alone i will be running the car on 98octane once its running again
- will the ACL head gaskets be stronge enough to with stand thise compression
-exhaust wise, has anyone got pics of "pacemakers" i wanna see the design first, no exhaust shop has pictures, also the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe so i can match the exh port,
all the info will be good in shortest amount of time as im dropping the engine off the my mates engine shop wenesday, i will keep all of you updated as the progess happens
