What was your original engine size? Is that a kit for the 600 or the 750? Does it matter? I know some of these kits come with new jugs, and I am not sure if you could bolt it onto either block or if it has to be a certain one.

That sounds interesting.

[Mr. Clean]

It's a kit for a 750. Wiseco doesn't make a 600 kit.

[Court93kat]

I didn't figure they did. Would be kind of a waste. What would they take it up to? A 750? A 663 if you keep the overbore the same I guess. Just wouldn't be very popular I guess.

You should start pulling it apart now to clean, clean, clean that engine!

[katana91]

that what im working on right now cleaning the hell out it to get it ready b/c i know its got to be dirty with its age and all.

Mr. Clean
what kind of gasket kit to you use when you put yours back toghether?

[Mr. Clean]

I ordered the spring steel head gasket Wiseco recommends and I just used OEM gaskets for everything else.

sorry i havent updated you all much i was waiting for my camera to get here. I got the pistons today and got everrything removed so now all i have to do is bring the block in to get bored, clean some more and reinstall everything.

I was really surprised at how quick everything came apart, i started with just the whole engine nothing taken apart at 3pm and had everything out and ready to get bored at 5pm and that was with taking my time.

i have really been happy with the way things are going because everything has been really easy to do and follow, i think this upgrade will be great for the time it took.

I will have pictures up later today of my new shiney pistons and everything else that i have taken apart.

May I make a suggestion, Mr Clean might or might not agree, Spend the extra money and have the Crankshaft balanced. She will perform so much smoother.

[katana91]

where would you get that done at.

[Mr. Clean]

I agree with that, but taking the crank out is much more involved. You can get it down at any machine shop that does engine work.

here are someupdated pictures of the proccess including the new kit
