hey guys i am going to get some rods 'n' pistons for my 98cobra and i was wondering how long does this job takes and what's a good price for labor?

 

6 grand, with you not doing ANY of the labor...


g'day

 

Engine removed and stripped down to the bare block...
Hot tanked
New pistons/rings
New rods
New rod and main bearings
All Studs, rod bolts etc...
Machined crank
Rotating assembly balanced
New gasket set (head, header, waterpump, oil pump, intake manifold, etc...) <--- it all adds up, trust me
Reassembly of long block
lubes, oils, etc...
Reinstallation....


ITS NOT JUST INSTALLING PISTONS AND RODS, LOL.... Most newbs think its that simple...

 

damn that much 6k for labor are you sure..

 

then i'll just change my 3.60 pulley to a 3.40 pulley to get around 10-11psi, would that be safe?? i have a 3 core cooller and a methonal injection will that help or keep it safe..

 

I think you should be fine. You got enough cooling so you don't have to worry about that.

 

then can i even go lower, maybe 3.20 or 3.30 pulley???

 

no... 3.4 MAX!!!

 

can i know what is the weakest links in that stock 98cobra motor?

 

A bad owner.
