So I got an 'opportunity' or 'special chance' to take my engine out. cos there is no compression on one of the cylinder...

so i'm just wondering what is my chances of upgrading bits and things while I take the engine out and apart...

All those forged pistons and head are so...... pricey....

If you are going to the effort to take the engine out,and you have a cylinder fault, to a least not do some form of rebuild would compromise future reliability. :);)

might as well get it done now since the engine is coming out mate.

pistons, conrods, bearings, metal gasket, head studs, main studs, etc.

I wouldn?t change the internals if your not planning to go for high power. Take that money and do the rebuild proper instead with better bearings and balance everything to perfection. But hey, that?s only my opinion:wave:
