wont have high comp pistons if its a turbo, just want the standard rings for a turbo unit.

not going to get main bearing aswell as big ends?

i would either add some tools to work the head a little yourself or leave some funds to buy a modified head as this is where a fair chunk of power is released.

also i think a cross pin diff of some variety is also a wise option if your planning to drive even slightly enthusiaticly.

make sure the gaskets especially the head gaskets are exlelent quality and not the cheap options.

if u want to get stuff on time i wouldnt use minisport either lol.

Im not sure on the part numbers for the piston rings I'd double check when you buy them they are the right ones. And on alot of things u pay peanuts and get monkeys I would find out whether many people are using that diff and how it's going as I'm sure I've read something about it being worse than some other competitors items.

have you checked the crank to make sure it doesn't neded a re-grind before you order parts?

what about new followers?

Rob, i have the x-drilled kent cam follower set on there, are they suitable? regarding the crank i haven't stripped the engine yet was compiling the list do you recon i should hold back on ordering the bearings untill then?

Confessed addiction to everything mini

sorry bud - couldn't see the followers for looking!

I'd personally strip the engine first to see what condition its in regarding bore and crank wear before spending any money

Cool thanks for the advice rob :) not going to get round to stripping the engine till early next year unfortunatly :( desperate to start now but have no space

Are you sure that they are the turbo piston rings? I thought they were nla.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Totalseal will make you up a set of turbo compatible piston rings.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Why only 4 core plugs?

Sorry, but as you haven't stripped the engine yet there are just too many unknowns.

any thing ive missed?

those look like standard pistons. Probably not good enough for a turbo engine

Thanks minimole and apbellamy was compilng list to get idea of cost etc, but also worried about waiting time for these parts too as ive been warned about msport, would it be worth taking the risk and then if they are incorrect send them back for refund?

Cheers guys :)

cant wait to start :)
