A few weeks ago I posetd some questions on upgrading the power of my 2.7 RS spec motor.
After a review of the replies and conversation with my shop I decided on a piston swap.
My mechanic is recomending 10.5-1 with J&E
After reading a few posts this week I see that there may be more of a concern for valve placemnet ect.
Is there less of a chance with a 9.5-1 set?
Are the Mahle's I have been reading about worth the extra $ on top of the J&E (Which will be about 1600)
I have also decided to get rid of the points and go with a crankfire type system.
This along with a nice reseal of the motor.
I was looking forward to that being a noticable improvmnet and a long lasting set up. Some posts seem to think otherwise as far as the life of the motor.
What are we talking about 10-20K or 5-10 DE events with some street driving here and there?
I realize that any hot rodding has risks.
Thanks for any advice in advance
