guys i'm rebuilding my 1996 GT. I want a stock rebuild but i want to port/polish the head and get a header with matching flow characteristics...what else can I do to see any improvements without serious big money parts? forged or stock replacement pistons?? i don't really plan on any big gains so should I just go stock piston replacement? What about cams? Chip? Tuner? Is it worth it to balance and micropolish the crank?
What is the average stock rebuild cost? Guys...thanks! |

I wouldn't suggest boring the cylinders. I may be wrong but the walls on a 5S are too thin to grind out otherwise you'll compromise the structural integrity and blow your motor with one good romp.

"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |

What if I have to rebuild it and they bore and hone it for the new pistons? Is that going to be ok? |
