[DeeAOne]

yep you should be fine man, block look nice and clean too! looking good. What pistons are you going with? DE? Milennia? ZE?

same pistons. just getting all the carbon off.

What plans do you got for the engine build?

its a stock rebuild basically.

ZE/DE rods
ZE pistons
milled heads
DE retainers/locks
ACL bearings
NPR rings

thats about it. im too broke to do anything wild. lol

question did you use the bf speedo gear in your gearbox
i was going to but the lantis speedo gear is shorter to bf one and the plastic gears are at different heights?
so don't really know if i should use it or not

[DeeAOne]

Nope I used a bg gear. I think they are the same as a bf anyway. They are taller than what's supposed to be in there but they still slide in and work. You just cant bolt it down in the transmission with that little 10mm bolt.

do the milli heads have solid lifters like the g4?

No

[DeeAOne]

I don't know if you thought I meant I'm using milli heads. I mean I am getting my ZE heads milled down to raise the compression of the motor.

Nice. I give it to you...you've got some skills and your on your way to an even faster car then you had before. Keep up the hard work.

plans sound solid man, just be careful when getting the heads machined since it is a V6 engine and removing material from the head will alter the cam timing...there's info about this on mx6.com i believe.

[Rustypro]

[MD323]

because the lifter buckets are a different size than a ZE..

id have to get G4 heads and port them to ZE specs to do that

[DeeAOne]

so ive been researching for the past few hours, and i really feel like i want to start gathering parts to boost after this rebuild. ive already decided im going to megasquirt the ZE after its back in the car.

what do you guys think? i like the all motor feel, but who doesnt like a nicely tuned boosted setup?

[Turpro]

That would make it the best kl swapped bh around
