Forged Rotating Kit - DIY? Part 1
I think quite a few of us guys running
8 - 10psi, would like to: 1) turn up the boost to 12 2) still run pump gas (say 92) 3) install this kit ourselves, in the comfort of our own garage. We're not interested in building a monster, but we want piece of mind, that a forged assembly will offer. Can someone with pretty much no skills, but has the tools, the Ford service manualand is not worried about lengthy downtime, install this? Comments, opinionsand advice are welcomed. http://haneymotorsport.com/Engine%20...tingkitlrg.jpg http://haneymotorsport.com/HMS%204.6...ing%20Kits.htm Update: As of today May 15, I am planning to attempt this. I'm gathering the special tools needed and am preparing my garage for the main event. I havn't decided for sure, on who's rotating kit (Haney or Livernois)but it seems like these are the two top sources to choose from. |

I thought our crank is already good for 600hp. They pistons, rods, and Main Bearings were the weak links

as long as you torqe everything the wright and make sure al clearances with the pistons/valves are good then thier really shouldnt be any prob. i would recomend getting the block cleaned and all the goodies but if your just keeping everything the same, you just want a stronget b/e then you should be fine
