lol well a simple rebuild isnt gonna give you hp... so ... since your taking the head off i suggest getting a reuild on it and port and polish it get a 3 angle valve job... maybe oversize your valves...
engine wise- get the crank balanced to 16k rpms... and kinfe edge it as well that will smoothen it out and give you quicker acceration... lighten the flywheel and get the underdrive pulley from onorthodox racing... -DMC |

First, why are you doing a rebuild, second no you wont lose hp, all your doing is making your engine newer.

he did say, never had an oil change, they were probably just dumping new oil in as they went
