WHAT INTERNALS?

[3dce@usa.com]

OK so heres an idea: is it easier to keep the new engine (H22a) out and work on the internal mods first and then install it?
and what order should i be improving what?

yes and depends on your time and budget

I would say yes. It would be easier to do internals with the motor out. As far as what to do that depends on how much hp you plan to have. I would start with pistons. From there the next weak link would be rods or at least rod bolts, next up would be the sleaves. For valvetrain I would go with stronger valve springs and retainers. If this is going to be a turbo motor then go with stainless steel valves. Again I can help out more though if I know your plans for the motor :)

depending on the year, again, you will need to do sleeves first.
the h22's using frm sleeves WILL NOT work with forged pistons, the rings will not seal.

ya man, either did I till about 4 months ago when I started looking around for parts for my buddies.
Did a search on hybrid and bam, i posted something about it here before, I think it was the 97+ models, not 100% sure though.

I think I remember you mentioning it here before now that I htink about it. Man it would be expensive to get more than 6 or so psi of boost on one of those motors then.
