Thanks for the pricelist. I will be doing most of the work myself. So far ive stripped a good 998 block (i think ill conveniently leave the 99H prefix on it, who's to know that it'l have a 83mm crank in it)- removed all welsh plugs and the gallery plugs. Is it really worth doing what Vizard recomends and tapping the core plug holes? Not a bad idea, My S had it done, I will use 9/16" UNF plugs in my stroker as the 1/2" bore is about right to tap that size. Only needed on the oil pressure gallery side, not the drain one near the cam.
Also drifted out the camshaft bearings, the rear one was well and truely rooted. My memory tells me i will have to get the new cam bearings line honed, am i right? NO they come prefinished now, but need to be put in by a reco shop that has the gear.
Sounds like the best bet is to put an re-13 in. I would also like to get a lighted flywheel or get one lightened but ive heard bad stories about when they are lightened incorrectly (exploding and fragments amputating legs etc.). How true is this and should i really be worried?
Properly lightened they are OK to 8000 which is more than you need..
thanks for the input
