Top end rebuild
Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2016 12:14 pm
Hey Guys,
So you may have seen some earlier posts about my smoking engine, i believe that it isnt actually the valve seals anymore but worn oil rings on my pistons.
this means i may be considereing a top end rebuild, now i want to know a few things if possible
-What do i need to do a basic top end rebuild? (never done this before)
Should i replace all my rings or just the oil rings? (compression is in the 150-160 range if i remember right)
-what else will i need? (valves, valve guides, etc, what else should i get to get that engine top end running perfectly so i can forget about it )
Is there a specific procedure? (im nervous about the valves and timing system here.)
Thanks in advance for any help guys
