So finally getting around to it.
Engine was pulled a little over a year ago. 1991 gvr4.
Completely stock. Bought with 98,000 miles. It was driven from atlanta to illinois without issue. Some noise from a/c compressor. But hey that is not an issue.
Basic idea here is I want to rebuild this car as close to just rolled off the assembly line. Now keeping in mind I have wanted one since I was a much younger man, Not forgetting that go fast is addictive. I am interested and looking to make this as near mint as I can and do some minor modification's along the way. Best guess is 300 hp would suit me just fine. But. Now I say again BUT I can also see the appeal of going bigger. You know because the people you know and work with think they have the fastest car. Let's show them the glory of the galant...
Enough babble.
engine is on the engine stand. First thing I see to do. Remove the head and send it to the machine shop.
My question. Your suggestion's.
What do I replace?
what do I ask them to do?
I am not above the idea of replacing everything but the head casing.
Right now all I know for sure is make sure I have the updated lifter's. Even if I do I plan to replace them also.
So just looking to get myself out there and get some good advice.
