hijacking this thread a little...

going to pull down my ST 20v soon as i think piston rings are gone.

assuming that i have an undamaged block, here are my plans

KEEP:
The EMS ECU
the bigger injectors
extractors (4-2-1)
the pistons (if there is no damage)

Change.
piston rings, valve stem seals and bearings (for non performance reasons)

CAMS:
i have "stage 2" cams.... now i dont know how big they are, i guess ill find out.... would like to go to a 272 / 280 and keep vvti

matchport and port head

balance a few things up

0.8mm head gasket.

aiming for 105-110rwkw

any suggestions or comments?

also currently have a 8,000rpm rev limit, thinking of taking to 9,000rpm after the tune.

and it is a street engine (and will be adding air con)
