Engine rebuild

[Trikky]

I am starting to rebuild an ecotec for my VS and just after some ideas for places to get my machine work done, block/crank etc. either Sydney/Central Coast or Newcastle since I live on the central coast at a reasonable price. Also a good place for pistons/rings/bearings & cam

Not building anything wild just a mild everyday streeter with slightly raised compression to make better use of the LPG injection that I am running

[HardStyle]

zzp or intense easy america is the way to go

Ok nearly got al the parts sorted, Steve from MACE has been a huge help

Does anyone know who either in Sydney or Newcastle area's can balance a V6 crank? as so far I have drawn a blank everyone I have spoken to goes nah only got the gear to do V8 cranks

Ive used these guys, they were quite helpful when they did some work for me - KC'S Dynamic Engine Balancing & Head Servicing

Thanks

just trying to source a couple of conrods now as 2 were still oversize even after being closed twice
Wreckers these days only want to sell a complete motor so the only thing stopping the rebuild and a full rebuild on an auto as well while I am at it

I have a set of H beam rods for $1000. I know its expensive as they're custom made...

[Trikky]

thanks mate but they will be way overkill as no boost is planned and will also blow my budget beyond what I can do

Will just have to keep looking around for some

[MACE]

And you didn't ask if I had any Chris, for shame LOL

I have some standard ones kicking about if of interest

Cheers,
Steve
