- VS 3.8 Manual
a buddy of mine recently did a rebuild of his Ecotec for his VS
Most of the parts are new including the Pistons
however he didn't get the engine block machined
i was wondering what kind of effect this would have on the engine
the engine originally has done 308,000 Kms
his cars running fine after the rebuild (Stock Rebuild)
i am interested in rebuilding a Ecotec engine myself
but i was under the impression that it is critical that you get the engine block machined
especially if you change the pistons ?
