So i need a bottom end job, but do to location, it is gunna cost me 4-500 bucks, and no i dont wanna do it myself.

so 442 has his engine for sale for 800 bucks, its got a fresh bottom end and top end is being done, a new crank, and flotek ported.

my concerns are that is it running out of bore room at 67.5mm, and someone installed the kicker gear backwards and it cracked the case, but 442 welded and has full confidence in. soo what do you think, i think i know what i want but i would like to here some input
 
but you have a stock ports?
seems a little much for a blaster engine with a stock bottom end and close to last bore and fubared case.
 
I would totally rebuild yours cause you have to take their word for it of what has been done if you have it done then you know for sure it was
 
i say buy a +3 and have some fun with yours. but that wont happen because it will cost you a lot more.

If you don't want to take the time to rebuild yours then get 442's motor. It's up to you. Lessoney or less time?I think he will stand behind what he sells.
 
I totaly trust 442 also but this is a good oportunity for you to learn more about your motor. why not read up on what you need and rebuild the bottom end yourself. too bad your a canadian ay. or there would probably be guys close enought to loan you the tools or come help you do the job.

i would love to try it if i had the tools, a lapping surface, and the time, but i dont...
 
you can get a 1/4"..oh sh*t you use the metric system.... so like a 1cm thick piece of glass for cheap. that is a great lapping surface. you don't have to lap surfaces unless they need it. crank puller, case splitter, clutch holding tool, and flywheel puller. that's all the special tools besides the leakdown tester. from what i have seen you doin before you already have basic mechanic tools. man up and fix that thing yourself.
 
well thats the same motor i have (minus a few tricks in mine lol) and i can say you would be veeery happy with the new power.
