Title: Making the most out of a goof.
Post by Trippah on 06/28/07 at 19:24:58

Hi everyone, loking for your thoughts and suggestions. Broke a stud of the exhaust header..see large heat shield thread for specifics. Anyway, now that I have to take the top end of the motor off, what mods would you do to make the most of this bad situation. I am thinking I'd like the camshaft Lancer does, and will need to open up the carb and exhaust (Well, it as open as it can get right now, I realize :o) I guess the question is to have it bored out for a larger piston? I'm not thinking i'd like to increase compression all that much.. So, what mods would you do given the unplanned engine top end job??

Out of service..well, a month I could accept. Budget, haven't thought about it enough, maybee $500-$700.?
Had kinda budgeted $500. for tuneup/ cosmetics (paint job).

I'd helicoil it in place and ride until winter rather than waste a riding day/week/month. Max

bolt should come out easy if you can get a drill in there.
