63 crank to keep it 2.0
64 crank to go stroker
Or an expensive custom crank

Std 2.0
Long rod 2.0
Or stroker

Most dealers do a package deal with recommended bhp ratings...

Thanks for input Rob. Would be nice to hear specs from others for what bhp they are running etc, pros & cons they have found etc. For example ive been told wiseco pistons seem to use oil??
Discuss lol

Rebuilt engines shouldn't use oil if correctly bedded in

Had no experience in a build, this is my 1st but hoping that this thread will open the discussion about peoples experiences of what worked, what they did & how things turned out or if things when the other way....

Depends on what bhp youre wanting really. Im over specing mine hopefully increasing reliability & then giving me a great base to build on. Is that price from Ross sport?

It's going to be more of a refresh as everything in there is fourteen years
Old,would like about 400 not going anymore than that
Just a quick scan on eBay for the woosners

When it comes to internals, there is a strict formula that is adhered to.

It is based around your specific requirements.

Most manufacturers rate their products to a set horsepower.

You just need to decide the desired outcome and then pick from what is available, depending on your budget of course.

I have never heard that about Wiseco pistons before. That is purely down to an error whilst fitting the pistons / rings IMO.

Oliver Rods are quite a bit of an over kill if you ask me.
