 Posted: Wed May 14, 2008 6:48 pm Post subject: replaceing which parts for rebuild |
 |
|
Im currently rebuilding an au and wondering which parts i should replace.
at the moment i have got a full rebuild kit minus the pistons, and have been told i should get a timing kit.
am i required to replace:-
1. harmonic balancer?
2. oil pump?
a genuine oil pump costs over 300 so i really only want to replace things that NEED to be done as this rebuild has gone WAY WAY over budget.
thanks
p.s i know i will need a new set of headbolts also |

define full rebuild kit?
If you replacing bearings, I certainly would be replacing pistons.
timing chains should last 500tho! but for around $100 I'd do it, even the oil pump.
when I pulled my motor out last year, I wish i did replace the pump. |

full rebuild kit included every gasket, rings and bearings.
The motor only had 100k's on it, but like u said i might change the timing chain.
should i fork out an extra 300 for an oil pump?
man i never knew rebuilding a motor could be so expensive |

personally i'd do the oil pump as it would be a pain to get to later. better than genuine in my opinion are the jp units.
i assume you'll do the welsh plugs too.
water pump and harmonic balancer can be done later without removing the engine if your budget is to tight. |
