It's not fabulous to be without a personal auto.
Looks like I've spun a bearing at 252,000 km and therefore need a rebuild. I have started working on it previously with Touge Tuning (www.tougetuning.com).
At the moment I have:
1. Rebuilt heads with cams,
2. Spare EJ205 shortblock with oil pan,
3. Gates timing belt kit, and
4. OEM Cam and front crank seals.
I want to rebuild it for tracking, but I’m not planning power upgrades past Stage 2. Intend to deliver what I have to Touge, get a rebuilt long block with timing belt kit installed, and then help Caveman to remove and replace the engine in my gf's driveway in Orillia when the longblock is ready.
I think I prefer:
5. 4032 alloy forged pistons,
6. ARP head studs, and
7. 'toilet seat' baffle oiling mod.
Internal components Needed
-New Bearings (Rod and Main)
-Forged Pistons
-ARP Head Studs
-Head Gaskets
-Seals
Should the oil pickup be replaced as well, and what else should I consider?
