engine rebuild.

[un named]

I was thinking of rebuilding my rb30e before turboing it in about 10 months. has anyone had theirs rebuilt before if so how much did you pay and what work was done.

would it be cheaper if i got all the bits and pieces myself then handed my car to a workshop?
so far i was thinking all new bearings and rings, gasket kit, honed, crank linished, acid dipped and decked. thinking about just reusing internals if everything seems in good cond if not i guess ill replace them. and for the head i wanted a port and polished maybe stronger springs and then just everything cleaned haven't really thought about the head to much part from new cam any recommendations?

Leave her unopened or if anything get head work and a good gasket and punch in some boost. Tough motors man. Mines got 320xxx on her and I'm running 10psi. Girl loves it

so what head work woud i be looking at? i have got this loud ticking noise comming from the head think its a sticky lifter but have tryed to flush it out and didnt improve. where would i get new lifters?

i got a set of lifters for my old wagon. cost me $82 for a set from repco, replaced them myself. Before i put them in, i soaked them in oil for 2-3 days

U can run some nulon lifter free through it and keep up some regular oil changes. It will flush em out quite quickly.
