As some of you may know, I am turboing my 91 EGT. I need some input on what to do about the motor. Right now, the motor burns no oil, just leaks a little, which is normal but not enough that I have to fill it up between oil changes. The inside is a golden brown, no crap in it either. Compression is 176 PSI straight across. Should I do a complete rebuild of the head and bottom end? I have a whole head rebuild kit, so thats a start. Should I put new rings in or what? Do you think that the motor will be ok for a while under 8psi of boost? The motor has 135,000 miles on it. Thanks you guys.

Agreed (hey long time no talk bruce!). BP motors can handle quite a bit of power on stock internals with proper tuning. Happy boosting.Current Cars
