Hey guys, we get many requests to put lists together for motor builds and instead of creating it over and over again, we've decided to put a list together so you can more easily prepare for what you need.
We've broken it down into parts that you ABSOLUTELY need when rebuilding your motor, parts that we recommend you replace but sometimes aren't necessary depending on the condition once torn apart, and then the aftermarket options for building it to be able to handle more power.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We'll update this soon with other parts that have become available recently. Yes, Mahle makes a FULL bearing set for these motors now after I worked with one of their representatives to get them to make additional bearings than what was available. We'll also put pricing for short blocks since many blown motors go out the unfortunate way with a window in the block.
Obviously, for you Aussie guys, these are US Dollars and shipping is in addition to the cost listed here. Most of these parts are very small and light and can be shipped together in small boxes. The biggest components are the pistons, rods, and new crankshaft (usually not necessary when rebuilding).
