Currently my 12X,XXX KA has the usual valve seal puffing smoke issue from a stop light. ANd I'm tired of it. I'm sure it could use some additional TLC as well. - CHANGE YOUR VALVE STEM SEALS
With that being said, where would you guys suggest I get a rebuild done? IN YOUR GARAGE
I've mentioned it before but the build wont be for crazy power...in the 250-300hp range or whatever I can get on 10 -12psi and stock 370cc SR injector and a tune. I know this will vary some. Either way, streetable power, not track power. - A KA IN GOOD SHAPE WILL HANDLE 350 WHP WITH NO SWEAT. USE 555CC INJECTORS IF YOU CAN FIND THEM.
I'm in Clearwater. I would bring a longblock to a shop to get the work done...just wanting to get pointed in the right direction. UNITED SPEED WORLD CAN HANDLE THE MACHINE WORK IF YOU INSIST ON HAVING YOUR MOTOR REBUILT. I'D LOOK INTO ASSEMBLING IT YOURSELF FIRST THOUGH. THERE ARE SEVERAL FAQ'S AND HOW TO VIDEOS AVAILABLE. IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE.
Thanks,
