Time to change the Rods

Ok friends,

I am ready to build the motor. I am planning on doing rods, oil pump, gaskets, and studs. Please provide suggestions as to where to buy the parts and who can do the build. I am located in Seattle WA.

Thanks

Jag

Jags,

With something as important as an engine rebuild, you should not, IMHO, restrict yourself geographically. Rather, select the best and most experienced engine builder, regardless of location. Transporting your car is easy enough.

jags,
i've never had anything done at ultimate motorwerks, however kevin receives nothing but the best accolades from the members who entrust him with their cars. he is one of the best and he lives close by. no brainer.

Jags, not sure how far from the UMW R+D bunker you are but there are a few sets of rods custom clearanced to GT3R cranks that will be representative of the level of detail Kevin is engineering into his bigger kits. As for rods, I think he has some Arrow rods for stock cranks on the shelf as well. Good luck , Kevin
