my question is, what are the things that most people change out and upgrade when rebuilding to OEM standards?
I couldn't really find anything in the search besides "BPU upgrades"
here are some of things im looking at:
-machine shop work: (hone and decking and turning the crank cause it spun a rod bearing)
-bearings
-rings
-front/rear main seals
-water pump
-aftermarket head gasket (what brand is suggested? i heard cosworth was good for the price)
i was wondering would it absolutely be necessary to replace the oil pump/housing?
what do i look for to see if its bad or on its last leg?
and is ARP hardware really needed for a minor build? (250whp-300whp DD)
