    Default Ecotec rebuild. Trouble finging parts.

    Hey guys, im wanting to build my old motor (that should be in car) and put it back in. Im looking to rebuild it. Heres what i have no far (installed on current motor in car): 12mm insulator and spacer, 70mm tb, 81deg thermo, bored, polished and port matched plenum and intake manifold. Exhaust consists of pacemaker extractors to a high flow cat to a 2.5" single muffler exhaust.

    Now with all that going onto the rebuild engine im then getting a cam (216°/216° at .050", Intake Lift .317" (.507" lift at 1.6:1 rocker ratio), Exhaust Lift .317" (.507" lift at 1.6:1 rocker ratio), 111 LSA), stronger valve locks, 105lb springs, viton stem seals and manley valve spring retainers.
    Heads will get a reco and the exhaust ports port matched to the extractors as the inlet ports are already port matched to the inlet manifold.

    Now that you know what iv got already. I want to rebuild this engine, put all that in and keep it N/A. This is my choice, i could go V8 or FI, but i dont want to, OK?

    What im having troubles finding is online stores and such to get all the bearings and flat tops (6MKRY9381S). Engine bearings i can get from a store but its the flat tops i am really having troubles to get ahold of. Iv tried repco, but the highly educated person behide the counter couldnt even use the computer. Or a different option, what other motors (in Australia or overseas) would use the same piston?

    And help, feed back or advice would be good thanks.

    Your in luck mate, I got all my parts from here, Performance Wholesale Australia - Australia's largest stockist of race parts . So if you don't mind the drive, you can order it all and pick it up over the counter.

    I have a thread when I did my Ecotec build, the prices I paid are on this page, Engine Rebuild
