complete engine rebuild
So I'm planning a complete engine rebuild, 1.7liter to a 2.058.
So here is my list so far, what am I forgetting?? 1.8 heads that Len Hoffman is redoing for me 96mm pistons from Aircooled.net (although I have no if as to if they are dished, flat, or domed). Have found a 71mm crank 71mm used crank and rods complete gasket/seal kit new main bearings new connecting rod bearings new wrist pins, new connecting rod bearings New bigger oil pump new camshaft bearings new cam (not sure which one yet New twin weber 44 IDF and throttle linkage Oil pressure booster pistons New fuel pump for carbs Jake's video on how to rebuild an enigne, and probably alot of tim and mountain dew. anything I'm forgeting? |

The final displacement is 2056 cc. I just did the rebuild on the same engine.
If you go with pistons from aircooled.net you'll probably get the KB hypereutectic pistons which are flat top and come with wrist pins. I would suggest going with a Jake Raby cam. If you're ordering his video you know about his website and stuff. I went with his split duration cam, the aggressive one. I havent fired my engine up yet though, so i cant tell you the results. You're going to want to get a good oil pump. There are two routes. One, you go with a type 1 oil pump and get a modified cam gear. Two, you get a more expensive special type 4 oil pump. Since you're going to be getting a new cam gear with your cam, I'd go with a type 1 pump. All that stuff is available from jake also. For linkage I would highly reccomend www.cbperformance.com 's linkage. You also need a gasket kit. Pelican has a good one, and so does aircooled.net. That list looks pretty complete. I cant think of anything else. Good luck!
