[Tre3zy]

hey guys just wanted to see what you guys think of my build list for 637

TOP HEAD:

Topline Gasket kit
OEM MLS Head gasket
ARP hardware
BC 272 cams
BC valve springs and retainers
BC intake and exhaust valves

BOTTOM BLOCK:

Topline Gasket kit
ROSS pistons
EAGLE rods
ARP hardware
polished crank

thats all i can think of on the top of my head.... pics coming soon.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I wouldn't use Topline gaskets. Some of the gaskets are paper thing, and last time I ordered a Topline kit, I think there were a few gaskets that weren't included in the kit.

I recommend the Cometic gasket kit. click

you can negotiate a fel-pro complete gasket kit from a parts store for around 200 cash. It's what I did and I have a lot of gaskets and washers left over for other projects. all other gaskets are great.

Top line is cheap for a reason. When you build an engine saving 50 bucks on something that can cause a huge problem down the road, is NOT worth it.

oh and forget the ross pistons, yea they work, but you can't beat the eagle/wiseco combo in a 4g63 been proven for years and years now. well execpt for CP pistons, but at about 200 bucks a piston... well you get it.

sorry for the multiple posts, but I'm spacing out.

Don't forget to eliminate the balance shafts!
Replace your oil pump too.
Replace all pulleys and the auto tensioner for the t-belt.
Replace your valve guides. You'll NEED exhaust valve guides for sure. They wear out badly.

There I think thats about all I have for ya.
Good luck and hope you the best!

so i went to the machine shop yesterday to check out wat was done so far on the bare block....

Is that a 2.4 block? The reason I ask is because I see oil passages blocked.
