If someone is going to start looking for a 6 to build what do you want and what do you want to avoid?
2.2 2.4 2.7 3.0 3.2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

There is a mod to make the hydraulic tensioner failsafe. The other issue is they can leak.
The 993 studs are getting spendy, so I'd use Supertec studs. Many of the 2.7 used alusil cylinders, they can be reconditioned but your stuck with stock pistons, unless you replate them with nicasil. A 2.7 that had reactors will also have worn out guides. Done right they are a good engine, I have a 2.7 core with casesavers and steel studs if anyone is looking. I'm going 3.0. The Cap'n's dream engine would be nice, but that Al case and squirter machine work needed will set you back $3k alone. |
