4AG Engine rebuild kits Mon, 20 September 2004 20:54 Go to next message
Hello..

Just wondering if anyone here knows of any good engine rebuild kits for the 4AG that they would happily recommend ?

I've got a tired big port which needs rebuilding and a small port in pieces which (if i can find all the bits) needs to be put back together.

My initial plans were to get ...

JHH performance eng (AE92 4AGE head) - got this
Cams from the big port head - Got this
Small port bottom end. - Which needs to get rebuilt

And a very tired big port 4age (still in car) - that needs new life - which may find home in another sprinter one day. - when ever i can get around to it.

I dont plan to give either engine an easy life, so just wondering if anyone has come across any product thats decent - that doesnt break the bank would be even better.

Thanks

James

all you need is a VSR kit, bearing and ring kit and freshen it up then.

Unless your going all out with a high reving big hp NA motor, i wouldnt change the pistons or anything.

Heya Simon..

Do ya know where i can call / go to get get the rebuild kit ?

I'm hoping to later run... 260 - 270 deg cams.. and get a decent 155 - 160 hp out of the thing. Thats the target. So i guess it might be pulling close to 8k .. often.

Will this kit do the job?

Thanks fella..

James

if i remember right....The bearings are about $65-$75, ARP bolts are about $100 (good investment if you want to rev the thing)
Both of those you can get from rocket.

As for your seals and gaskets, the guy who did all my machine work and built my engine got those but you can get them from a lot of places. Depends where you are?
There is a place in west ryde called brookers that can get them.
Duncan and foster should be able to help you out as well.

To be honest all of the stuff you need wont cost you much at all. If you can put the engine together yourself it will cost even less.

Having said that my theory is this " I never want to pull this engine out of my car again so i might as well do it all now "

For the sake of a couple of hundred bucks why wouldnt you?

thats my opinion anyway Smile

Good luck with it all.

Matt

I just noticed you are in perth so i doubt you will be going past ryde any time soon Laughing

Try rocket industries for the gaskets too. You never know your luck.
