I have an S14 SR blacktop and I have come to the conclusion that i need an engine (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=177874#) rebuild.
My compression on clilynder 1 was 30 psi and its burning oil...
And now i need to shop around so im asking my fellow zilvia members
where can i get it rebuild?
how much?
Should i cheap out with OEM pistons or buy some performance pistons, If so will i need new rods?
I should might as well, get the engine port and polished. And get a metal headgasket..

well you could go to SR20 store in torrance marco is the man, im sure garage boso does rebuilds, you should search around on the forum im sure there are threads, and yeah im finishing up my rebuild and i sprung for some cp pistons and eagle rods combined came out to about a grand...it would be worth it in my opinion, cuz when is the next time your doin a rebuild...know what i mean...:naughty:

I recommend an OEM rebuild for most cases... If you are racing or don't mind spending the cash for more power than more power to you...

Get new piston rings, rod bearings, main bearings, and an engine gasket set...
Have a machine shop check and hone the block, balance the bottom rotating assembly, and clean everything chemically...

Reassemble the motor according to the Nissan Factory Service Manual...

That's it...
If you want to add more you can but that should be more than good for most cases...

Here is a thread I started a long time ago on the rebuild of my motor...

And how that motor dyno'd... Most power out of a stock NA KA I've seen...

It really isn't that difficult... You just have to have a clean workplace, good lighting, the right tools, and no one bothering you...

I would get a new timing chain assembly, and have the head rebuilt/upgraded...new valve guides, valve seals, valve job..3 angle and have the head and the block decked. stock rods and pistons should be fine.
