How hard is it to crack open an engine and replace all of the seals? I'd like to try my hand at a rebuild, but since the engine runs great now, I'd hate to screw up a rebuild and have to buy another one. Also, how hard is it to do a mild port job? I know templates are available, but should I leave the porting to the pros? Obviously, I'm not looking for 400+ hp, just a little more airflow.

i tore down my TII engine in about 5 hours. i would let somebody port the housings just so you don't risk damaging a good housing. its not that hard but it does take alot of time to rebuild. i would probably wait till winter to tear it down https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

That's what I was thinking. How much would a port job cost if I sent the housings out, assuming they're in good enough condition?

usually $300. how far away is pineapple from you ?

ATKINS rotary told me $150 for a street port,,,and $300 for a bridge

All I'd want is a street port...I don't want to have to use different apex seals...well, maybe I should upgrade them.



Where is pineapple?

Pineapple racing is located in Portland, and Hawaii.

pineapple is in Portland, OR ^_^

Hmmm...that's really far from here.

i have no clue. he is in iowa. i'm on the right coast LOL . best bet is probably pay to ship them to him. shipping shouldn't be too bad ground like $40

Don't worry UniqueTII I'll rebuild your engine reaaaallll good.

we ported our own street port and runs good. you need templates for bridgeport so you can get them the same.

Rob ROCKS!!!!! He built my NA motor https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/spam.gif

if i didn't have an excellent engine rebuilder 10miles from my house. i'd go with pineapple https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Are you saying I'm not excellent!?



FINE! I see how you ARE!

You're not 10 miles from my house.

No but I'm 30 or feet so closer then I was.

Yeah, I moved a wee bit to the south...I don't think it was worth it. I got an hour and a half of sleep last night, but I wrote a 4 page paper and my living room looks great!
