Well since wesico makes 2.3l pistons in std size which is what I wanted. But itll prob need a bore to get everything straight

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

Aint nothing wrong with a 2.3. I'll be joining you someday if you do :)

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

Since talking with a couple friends, coming to conclusion no one knows or will know how long the motor has had thrse low numbers (ive seen posts from 09 than 2010 on this motor showing weird numbers from chucke) im going to install new plugs and a diy cop set up I bought from troy, new air filter and a gs 3port ebc and take it to shane within the next two weeks and get it tuned. If it makes power im just going to leave it alone if its a dog ill rebuild it. So the dyno will be my truth moment.

After having a 2.4 I would never go back to a 2.0 on a street car. My 2 pence.

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

2.4 is beast on streets. Just cruising out of boost was awesome.

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

If your motor has some decent miles on it or it needs to be bored, then you can't use std size pistons.

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

Shane, after talking with a couple people I have another option of just getting it tuned seeing if it makes power than go from there. Even though it has low compression if it made descent power what do you think? Id like to make the car last till next winter so I can save up money for a rebuild but I dunno if itll make it all summer.

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

Don't beat the hell out of it and it'll probably be fine; or do beat the hell out of it and add oil if/as needed.

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

It doesnt use any oil in between oil changes

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

Then you're worrying about compression numbers that a beater-DSMer would die for ;)

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

You sure make me feel better about this. Lol

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

I hope a beater dsmer doesn't hope for those #. 1 of those #'s are within the serviceable limit.

But not burning oil between oil changes that's a different story ;)

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

It was a joke, but we all know of at least a few beater DSM's running around with all holes <100!

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

So your saying itd good? It really dont I daily the car and change oil at 3/4k and i dont have to add any in between. I use 10w-30 ams oil synthetic.

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

I wish I would of ran my old motor that tested out similar to that, but the low cyl. was a bent rod.

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

Not at all, not even close, but if it's running OK and you're fine with it as-is then just keep driving it until you can afford to rebuild the engine.

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

I just said screw it and bought a motor from topspeed performance. And a twin disc rebuild from map. So everythings good. Now just need to figure out what im doing with my old motor.

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

A stock motor or built motor?

Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions
 

Who is Top Speed and what made you decide on them?
