LOL, and I assume it is rebuildable as per other ATI dampers?
Besides, a little less weight up front to go with the less weight in the rotating assembly, and the less weight on the lightweight flywheel... should be eager to spin
Of course, the problem here, is that shoves me about $400 over what I was expecting to spend... it is money WELL spent, though! I've got another $350 coming that I can add on my artificially set $2000 budget, but that's pretty much covering the rods... I think it's time I gathered all these extra parts I have around here, and have a Fund Doward's Build Sale
I set myself a $2000 budget to rebuild the engine -
Here's what I have calculated so far:
Titan MHG - $120 @ TMS
Pistons/Rods - $1000 @ Import Performance Parts (Eagle/Wiseco or Eagle/Ross)
Main Bearings - $46 @ Summit (Clevite, but I'm going to check Advance first to see if I can score some TRUE Clevites)
Rod Bearings - $42 @ Advance (same story)
Thrust Bearings - $11 @ Advance (Yep)
Oil Pump - $182 @ Advance (Sealed Power - Bryan mentioned he likes to go through the oil pump and do some internal work to it, so I may bring him my stocker)
Oil Pump Bearings - $30 @ Toyota (if mine are bad - rather Bryan has them, and doesn't need them, then the other way around)
Exhaust Manifold Gasket - $27 @ Toyota (Haven't decided between stock, or a SCE copper one)
Harmonic Balancer - $378-$450 @ ATI (p/n 918525 - gonna see if I can score the $378 price tomorrow

)
Total in parts will be between ~$1625 - ~$1910. Doesn't include little things like seals, fluids, etc - I always budget $150 in 'Misc'
I've got an estimate of rougly $1200 in machine work from Bryan, which includes bore, line hone, cleaning, crank work (knife edge + micropolish/rebalance) and a little something thrown in for misc little work.
That's about $2825-$3110 total... so I'm about $1000 over budget... I've got $350 coming in, so I need to see if I can raise another approx $650 in parts to sell... I know I've got a good CT26 + full 3" exhaust sitting here

If I can cover $300 of that overbudget, the wife won't kill me
