Engine rebuilder in Brisbane for 4.5 Petrol

Post by Red Rover »

I want to rebuild the petrol motor in the 80 series before i turbo it, but looking for a really good rebuilder. i want to get some head work done at the same time ie port & polish, flowed perhaps. Still runs pretty good but valve guide seals could do with doing so I'll go the whole hog, get the block balanced etc. If I'm gonna spend 7k on a turbo kit, i might as well get the engine going well too. I don't think a GEM engine will cut it.

cheers
