Guest JAMIE T Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 A couple of pics of the gold on my cam covers. The block is scheduled for a bore and hone. I'm going to go ahead and do rods and pistons to get the most out of it. Not too much info on that yet. I'm still looking into a torque/deck plate. I'm going to order ACL bearings from "Speed Shop AQWIKZ" in a few weeks. Probably going with Wiseco or JE for the pistons and Eagle rods. They should be plenty for my mortal HP goals.

olie05 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 looks really clean! I like the chrome spark plug cover, nice touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIZERK Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 looking good man! I would also like to get eagle rods since they are quite a bit cheaper than carrillo/pauter but I don't know of any cars running them. I only want about 600 at the wheels and I would like to turn 9k rpm, to get the most out of my cams, so i'm not sure if i want to risk it.

240Z Turbo Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Probably going with Wiseco or JE for the pistons and Eagle rods. They should be plenty for my mortal HP goals. FYI, Wiseco makes all of JE's forgings. Wiseco pistons are typically much cheaper. Pistons sold as Wiseco brand use a difference forging process from what I am told and they are better.
