ok i got a rebuild kit with oversized rod bearing(0.030"/0.75mm, oversize main bearing(0.030"/0.75mm), and oversized bore(0.040"/1.00mm). the kit also came with
* Full Overhaul Gasket Set
* Pistons and Piston Rings
* Freeze Plug Set
* Main Bearings
* Rod Bearings
* Thrust Washers
my question is what do i do about the rods because they didnt come with it and what else do i need for the rebuild.
use stock rods. get new rod bolts, though.
also need:
axle seals
gear oil/tranny fluid
engine coolant
oil && oil filter
throw out bearing(pilot bearing) if manual
Assy. lube to lubricate ALL parts during assembly
water pump
timing belt and tensioner
*oil pump (borderline req'd)
*cap, rotor, plugs, wires and PCV valve
*Fuel filter
*change brake/power steering fluid
*clutch/resurface flywheel
things with the star (*) are not required but highly recommended

i would have to disagree, i think it would be best to get aftermarket rods. I always thought the weak point in our engines were the rods.... so my recomendation would be forged rods if u got the caaaassh
The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed?

weak point in 7a IS rods, but more specifically the rod BOLTS. now if he is doing a stock rebuild(i assume bc he got a 'kit') he wont be throwing high power/rpms at them and stock rods w/ new(aftermarket if you can find them) bolts will serve another 200,000+ miles if all else is done right.

IF you get new rod bolts, you have to balance your rod with the new bolts and piston. Either way you have to take it to a shop and have them balance it out for you.
