Engine Rebuild
Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 8:11 pm
Hey Everybody,
I bought my Skorpion last year with the intent of it serving much of it's time on the track.
I had a nice chat with Galen Miller this morning about rebuilding the engine for reliability with as much performance boost as seems reasonable.
He suggested an 02 over piston, a little head flow work, new carillo rod, undercut the trans for starters. Secondly, we might want to consder a hotter cam, with new valves and springs. Basic work oughtta give me a longlasting engine with an extra 8hp or so.
This would leave the engine prime for a set of FCR's and new exhaust to really uncork it when I have some more cash down the road.
I'm totally psyched and looking forward to getting in tons of track time this year!
Any thoughts, comments, suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris in Chicago
