acf8181 0 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 change the chains and tensioners before you fit it in...thats all i can think of. Link to post Share on other sites
eViL 0 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 If I was going for a 2.9 conversion personally, I would have the engine completely overhauled before fitting it.Then you should have 100,000 miles of care free racing! Link to post Share on other sites
