    Hello guys!

    Anybody here have rebuilt a very healthy (no butcheries) 2.0 ? All Std. parts.

    Love to hear tips, etc. . Low oil pressure, is that a real trait, Upgarde to 2.3 liter conversion?

    Superformance appears to be best option. Pistons, I'd have J&E build me a set.

    Use the same sleeves, ball honed, great shape now, no step on top. Std. bearings :) ?

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Alberto

    No experience with the dino, but crankshaft bearings of that era where hard to beat. Keep them if you can.

    I recall Superformance supplies Dino piston setup made by Cosworth.. They are very nice! Have the A/F coating on the skirts. Beautifully machined.

    The 2300 kit is nice. Need an engineering machine shop to implement it. Uses the 2400 pistons and head gaskets (with an extra hole for coolant flow). Mike Eliott's book speaks of the 2300 fondly. I recall the book mentions to upgrade the pump to the 2400.
