go for wesico forged pistons and forged rods...
very cheap ma...
only 3k plus ma..complete...
Thanx Syahz wow thats really nice info im also still looking for rebuilt my engine but somehow a lot of people will say the duratech conrod but suddenly came out with the Taiwan rod quite cheap also but so far how's the durability of the things......im not making any monster car but its it sufficient to support for boosting somewhere 1.5bar with TD05 20G...just asking.....sorry ask dumb question :wavey:
Took off the sump already. Found out that:
- 3rd piston skirt broken (a lil bit only,fell in sump)
- 1st,2nd and 3rd big end/con rod goyang abit.
- Oil sump plate fell off.
Other than that everything seems ok so far. No steel flakes or dust in the oil (at least cant be seen or feel with naked eyes/hand) Need to take out timing belt, head to fully comprehend the damage done.![]()
use microscope... hahaha... just attach a scary photo for all to share... forging is the best option to go for an old engine.

Beware of CONN workshop.. they can only talk cock, suck all ur money,promise u this..that..but at the end all KENNNNNN...
hehe Well Said goo_61t... So far i've bought the piston & rods plus a plastigauge. Now i haven't decide wether to opt for ACL race series or Duraglide is good enuf. I found out that some people dont use aftermarket bearings 4 their street/strip machine instead use OEM bearings... But, maybe they swap their bearings regularly in 1 year rite? I'm not sure la. Whats ur opinion? Is it reliable enuff to support my power & usage goals?
I'm thinking of saving a bit coz maybe want to get arp head stud too.
Luckily la my neighbour used to run a workshop, and all the equipments still available. I'm planning to borrow the compressor+air gun (borrowed her cherry picker/engine hoist already). Need to take the engine out faster la.. Amateur job very slow la![]()
Anyway goo_61t do u keep a journal on ur build project. I hav compiled a few pics and notes. Hope it would become hel1p
