Hey There.

I'm in the process of taking out my 4k for a rebuild with bigger cams, machined flywheel etc. The motor should be out by tomorrow, then I can start opening it up to see what would need replacing. But for now, I want to start getting quotes so I have a rough estimate of cost before I start. I read on the FAQ about building a tough 4K that 4k's have cheap repco pistons that tend to crack (especially on a worked engine). So I was just wondering what are my options for better pistons? I am unsure whether or not the motor will have to be re bored at this stage. So for the time being, I just want some info on pistons that'll fit a standard 4k (if there are some that raise the compression to 9.5, that's an added bonus). I would like to spend less than $300 if that is at all possible, but if not, I'll up the budget.

 

Cheers

you can get acl pistons from repco for 4k's. they shouldn't be t bad. they're 500 nzd.
