u can get h beam rods for 600 a set now, and with decent forgies for 1100 (cp's) u shouldnt need to spend over 4k for a forged bottom end, I didnt. Spending money resizing, shot peening and balancing standard rods is money down the drain imo.

Morgz how did you find m&w for your motor did you have any probs with it

Aren't You able to have rods shot peened without having to resize them? Or can't the shot peening process be performed without damaging the journals?

this quote was just engine, not inlcuding pulling it out as it is already out ... will i be ok to go with a standard head rebuild?

depends do u want to keep the car etc if u only want to keep it for a few years probly would be ok, if u plan on keeping it for ages do it once do it right dont let people brain wash you, cos every little thing adds up $100 here and $200 there and all of a sudden you have spent 5g trust me!, its not a 4g excercise for a full on build a decent sump is about $700 to $800 etc etc just my 2c

well from this quote im now getting rid of the cam, using my standard one, getting rid of vernier cam gear, and also the stainless valves too... anything else i could loose as im chasing 300kw

The standard bottom end if in good condition will handle 300rwkw no probs at all, that goes for sump, balancer, pumps, rods and pistons. You will need a good tune on it for it to last, even thrashing it shouldnt do it much harm so long as it doesnt detonate. Ive seen a few make over 500rwhp on completely standard N/A internals and driven like their stolen.. and the motor lasts longer than the drivetrain everytime.

well my engines broken oil rings so no matter what i need it rebuilt, with a standard cam wat sorta power r people making off them on average?? this may be a bit out there but will a highflow t3 handle it also?? i was looking at a gt35/40 internally if not
