rebuilding the legend 3.2 engine

[humpsjr]

when doing a total rebuild on this particular engine is it okay to bore this engine or just hone it real good?
The reason I'm asking is because of the way the cylinders are already subject to vibration hence causing the head gasket problems.
And if it is okay to bore ,how much,and who makes piston kits to match the new bore?

Whatever route you choose, just be sure you do not skimp on rings. Good quality piston rings will solve a multitude of heartaches down the road.

no real reason to bore. do a light hone job. However if you go that route you should get OS piston rings, new bearings, 3.5 headgaskets torqued in sequence to 63lbs, type 2 coolant, new waterpump. Properly clean and lube all parts.

I can rebuild your engine and get added ponies for you for around $1200-$1800. If you want low compression piston i can get those also for you for when i am done with my supercharger kit.

hit me in pm if interested.
