Hi guys,
I've read a lot of engine rebuild threads and I am also following Ian on the 2056cc engine build but I am bit overloaded with info. My car is 74 2.0 FI and an engine rebuild will come sooner or later .... I will not do the rebuild myself but before I talk to a shop I want to know what parts (brand !) are needed and what machining needs to be done. Just want to know what you guys would do so I can compare to what the shop wants to do. What I want : * reliability (so not another rebuild 20K miles later) * want to keep the fuel injection * want euro spec * a bit more oomph so 2056 cc (to keep the FI) instead of stock 2.0 * affordable but reliable parts (sorry can't afford a Raby engine or kit) What do I need and which brand ? * new pistons - 96 mm ? * new cylinders ? * new camshaft (which one ?) * complete seal kit ? * SSI heat exchangers ? (have a triad exhaust) * new valves and valveguides ? * keep the original FI or aftermarket modern injection ? What needs to be done to the engine ? * resurfacing heads ? * valves ? * does the MPS needs adjustment (or replacement ?) I see kits, pistons, cylinders all over internet but what are the good reliable and affordable brands ? A complete list with suggested parts and brands would be ideal. Thks in advance cheers Dax |

I pieced my rebuild kit from multi sources to try to safe a few bucks and reuse where I can...you will eat up the savings in shipping cost
