good luck. And, don't buy that "rebuild kit" before having taken all apart - I say that because you actually might have all the right sizes already in your tumbler, and "only" need to reshuffle. (although most kits have new springs that could be useful to replace). Do note that i...

just realised I had never responded back to this thread here - thanks for all the inputs, and great to know fellow enthusiast here! Bought the car, but didn't have a real garage & workshop to go with it at the time. Fast forward from 2016, this project is now officially underway that it will mak...

congrats on the purchase!

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Stefan, You could of course stay original, break the bank, and go Mahle. Nickies seems to be a great alternative for cylinders, but are roughly in the same budget. They often come with the forged JE pistons. If you are not looking to build a track / racing car, in my mind, I am ok for not splurgi...
