Wassup, I'm goin to be breaking into a KA-T project in the near future but first I'm goin to be rebuilding a spare KA motor bullet proof enough to handle the turbo and about 400-500 hp. I've built motors before and I know pretty much of what I'm doing but I've never built a KA before. Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good book or a website that would really break down the entire rebuild of a KA24DE motor and maybe give me the specs and tolerances on all the parts. Although, I'm going to be using all performance and aftermarket parts so I'm sure those specs will be off a little but it would still be nice to know what they are suppose to be. The only thing that I can think of is the Factory Service Manual, but if anyone has got any other suggestions any new info would be helpful I'm sure thanks

Factory Service Manual, I wouldn't trust Chilton/Hanes to do anything anymore.
