2.8l Rebuild Options

[Shaunous]

Shaunous,

Which engine builder did you use?

My 99 GU 2.8t dropped the timing tensioner last week at 300,028 kms. Thinking bent valves etc and due to kms a full rebuild.

Do you know how to increase the boost from stock?

Also Mate, Just head over to the Introductions section and introduce yourself to the forum, we all like to know a bit about you and it keeps the peace.

Cheers,
Shaun...

Hey there Shaunous, your decision to spend the money on the engine rebuild is solid. At least you will know you have a good engine and regular servicing will get you another 350000km. I suggest you get the head fully tested as they do fail rather expensively. New head and gaskets will cost roughly $1900.

Hey mate, Yeh i'm stoked on the rebuild. Few little mod's and the removal of the emissions bull$#@t and I have myself a better then standard engine. Drives great and enough power for what I want.
