Finally Starting The Rebuild

Now im happy with the daily the rebuild will begin

Engine will be honed (Should not need reboring - I Hope)

I will be using the standard pistons + conrods and just using a garndi chip (new piston rings + gudgin pin)

I will be using a MLS gasket from Suzuki

Will be using all new Suzuki seals/gaskets (Full Gasket Set Inc Cam Seals etc)

New Oil Pump + Water Pump

The head inlet and exhaust ports will be ported and polished. Head will be skimmed. Will have new valve guides and seals + relapped in (replaced if neseccary) + heavier springs

Crank will be polished - hopefully there is no markings (I like shiney things)

The question is what are the best main bearings and big end bearings to use and were do I get them from?
And where can I get ARP bolts for the main and head?

Think I have covered everything! If not just remind me - I have cleared the shed to work on it and got the engine stand ready

NOW IN BITS SO COULD REALLY DO WITH THE ABOVE INFO

Right then update time! Really am starting to feel the love again (l)

Bits going for dipping soon

Head will be going for new skimming, porting and polishing, new valve guides + relapping etc etc (replaced if necessary)

Crank may have to be reground

alot of people say acl are the best but i cant see there being much difference personally, i used king bearings, brought them on ebay usa. try contacting brands direct or look on their websites for distributors.

i got arp head bolts from srd but i got em as i brought a pulley aswell.
bmw m50 bolts fit apprently look on teamswift or redline.
