hi all, i have just started to put my engine back together after 5 years of it being off the road, i need a bit of help and advice, i seem to have misplaced a few bits and pieces.
i need some new liners, so i think i might as well get new liners and pistons just i'm not sure where to get them from, and i don't want to be paying the earth for them.
also i hope to be build the engine to produce about 200bhp and was wondering what i would need to achive this
thanks for any advice

:D you missplaced your liners on an engine rebuild? :agree: id probably say mike for liners pistons, you'll probably want a piper 285cam high lift springs and vernier pulley to time it up, along with a t25 ish turbo and around 20psi of boost :D

thanks for the offer but i don't really need a whole engine, i already have a piper cam, lightened flywheel, and some light head work
