So I've got this perfectly good block, and a decent crank sitting in the shop and it sitting here makes me want to build it.I want to stay in the stock-ish turbo torque range, and it would be going in my DD, so drivability is a must. I can do all the work myself, and this is really mostly something I want to do as an experience, and it'd be sweet to be able to answer "me" when someone asks who built the motor. But how far do I go? I've taken notes from Kyle's build lists,what do the weisco pistons have over stock? Naturally I plan on clearing out the coolant passages, grinding the inside of the block to remove casting impurities etc, but what about knife edging or streamlining the crank? That's just a matter of time with a grinder, are there any disadvantages to knife edging in a street car? (thinking rotating mass might hamper drivability) I will at minimum be port matching everything, but going beyond that it gets really easy to screw up a head. I might look into sending the whole build off to EP racing to get the full battery of coatings as well. I particularly like the thermal dispersing and oil shedding coatings. Any suggestions?
