Can I have the cylinders bored on the 5sfe? I heard the cyl-walls are too thin to get it done and would be prone to cracking. True??
Also, what components do I want to get after the full rebuild? Radiator? Hoses? Water Pump...what else??? One more thing...webcams (is it really worth it, I mean with a short ram air intake, stock header, and performance exhaust, what gains am I looking at for HP with the webcams and shouldn't I get a port/polish on the head for better breathability for the webcams??)...how much and what's the address I have to send them to? Thanks! This post has been edited by 6G96GT: Mar 6, 2008 - 4:51 PM |

5s cranks are forged - and beastly! (they are used in 3s strokers)
pistons/rods should be upgraded if going for high power #s, though it is up to you and the budget -Terra -------------------- '92 ST185, '88 ST165, '05 Galant LS, '08 Legacy
