Engine Building
 
I'm looking for some advice..

My engine died a few days ago.. not taken it apart tough.. yet..
just quit a bit of knocking and banging and the bottom end is gone , bad compression so it doesn't idle , the block has already been bored once so I wont be fixing this one

so here's the deal.. what would you do it's a MY00
and im thinking about ordering a new shortblock and some other things

but as Im not so much into engine building I'm not sure what my best option is
what kind of shortblock and what more to do..

IMO If your asking, then pay an engine builder to do this for you that way it gets done right.

im not goint to build it my self.. going to let someone else do that..
im just wondering what i should get.. what shortblock and what more you would buy..

Set yourself some max power levels and torque figures you'd like to see and that will help determine whether you need uprated internals.

contact David at API tell him exactly what you want to finish up with (bhp and torque),he'll then find a way to suck your wallet dry and build you a excellent engine :lol1::lol1:

We only do that to people who are prone to auto suggestion. 'Normal' people can resist my temptations.

Some just like to drive around in my courtesy car..................

We can also hold your hand while you repair it yourself if you wish.
