Bottom end
my cars done 110,000 miles, and in about 2-3 months im having the head decoked, skimmed and new valves,new valve seals, head gasket and new head bolts etc and a kent fast road cam along with new tappets etc. ive got a weber carb, magnex exhaust and k&n filter at the moment and the engine is quite sound. does anyone reckon i might have probs with fucking up the bottom end?, i dont want to put a conrod through the engine of fuck up a piston or something.

RE: Bottom end
Considering u will have the engine basically stripped 2 do the head work
u might aswell, if u've got the money,get the bottom end rebuilt. It'll save work and money later.
good luck m8

RE: Bottom end
It would be worth fitting some new shells to the crank while the engine is in bits, do a compression test to see what condition the pistons/bores are in.
RE: Bottom end
so how much would it cost me for a bottom end rebuild/ and whats involved?
RE: Bottom end
is there any telltale signs to show if the bottom end is fucked?
ie noises?
