So if you were going to rebuild an 82 EA81


Recommended Posts

What optional things would you do?

 

I plan on just redoing everything like a normal rebuild.

 

But, I am thinking of what extra's I could do?

 

I already have a torque cam.

 

Balance the crank, rods, and pistons?

 

grind the valves?

 

New valve springs?

 

Port the heads?

 

 

 

I am planning on setting up my spare intake for my dual HS6 carbs. I also want to go over the cooling system with a finetooth comb. Maybe find a dual core radiator, clean the gravel from the A/C condensor and have its leaks fixed. New water pump (my impeller is all corroded).

 

 

Id love to hear recomendations, especially ones that can be done cheaply or just by investing time.

 

Thanks,

 

Alex

Balance EVERYTHING! A friend did this to a mini engine - balanced averything including camshaft, water pump, so on. Small difference, but its there.

 

Shot peen rods, get valve train suitable for 10,000rpm.

 

Plane head or get spfi pistons to increase cr.
