Engine Build Thread

[EdgeAutosport.com]

Hey guys its becoming more and more common for people to build their motors with the age and wear starting to creep up on us. Im going to list a few basic quotes of what it takes to build your motor and so you can get an idea if you are on the fence of taking the plunge!

Now we all build at different points so replacing certain parts due to wear or peace of mind such as oil pumps and if you wanted to do vvt while you were in there also we have pricing for those we can get those ordered for you as well. Anyways if you have any questions or want to add anything let me know Also when you are building a motor and need to replace the head gasket we need to know what year and model the motor came from. (this is very important to help maintain oil functions in the motor)

Wiseco Pistons-480.15
K1 Rods- 399.00
Main Bearings-123.50
Rod Bearings-92.52
Head Studs-174.42
Main Studs-122.35
Rear Main Seal-68.73
Front Oil Seal-9.13
Crank Pully bolt-11.58
Friction Washers-45.60
Overhaul Gasket Set-299.00
Cometic Head Gasket-89.00
VVT Actuator -119.06
Timing Chain-41.00
Timing Chain Tensioner-74.00


ACT 6 Puck Clutch-678.15
Flywheel Blolts-40.00


EDIT: I dont want to clutter the op with more parts right now but if you want to know the different options you have for hard parts here is a link to the website.

Thanks for the heads up I go get some price quotes now.

[MS3-a(sore)ASS-rex]

Might want to price in timing tool purchase/rental, new timing chain & tensioner, serpentine belt & tensioner and as mtnrunner said, assembly and ARP lube.

Edit: I also suggest including the other piston and connecting rod options available to the market.

[mtnrunner]

can you guys sticky this in your section? much easier to refer people to this thread than text a list everytime.

Done. Good idea

[JP@edgeautosport.com]

We're going to add some parts on here and update it with other ancillary parts but so far this is the bare minimum you need to replace when ripping the motor apart.

[EdgeAutosport.com]

Timing chain and vvt added.

[EdgeAutosport.com]

Ok here is the ARP lube.
@mtnrunner How much do you need?

[EdgeAutosport.com]

Here is the assembly lube

What about machine work?

Did you ever measure piston height?

Nope lol

Yeah, just toss that in a package... lol

[mtnrunner]

The head studs and main studs come with the little .5oz deal but I like to be super generous with the lube and run out of that quicly. the 1.69 oz would probably be enough for the average person. Since its only like 10-20 bucks i bought the 10oz container and had enough for a good time after.

Machine work doesnt really fit into this thread because there are too many variables. Just going accross town to a different machine shop can cost a few hundred dollars more or less. Typical machine work is bore and hone with deck plate, check line bore, valve job, balancing, and resurfacing head and block deck.

Does anyone prefer a specific rod/piston combo?

[MS3-a(sore)ASS-rex]

Eagle rods & CP Pistons is my personal choice.

Oh and measured piston height....cylinders 1&4 and 2&3 match up perfect...I hate this car lol

any wrist pin thats 22.5 will fit a genpu piston.

Wiseco Pistons you already have but I'd be curious about the Molnar Technology rods if you have them.

We will be also carrying the Molnar rods.

If you offered a package with a built short block... I'd seriously consider it.

Yes kinda...

I was also referring to something Alan is assigned to in getting pricing and parts list together for us directly to offer built motors built here locally and I will keep you posted with those prices when I find them out
