red240ne: qranted i did ask a very vague question, i should have specified what type of rebuild as sykikchimp mentioned, but i didnt so i assumed that you didnt catch what i was asking, a complete misunderstanding. but you didnt have to fly off, it does nothing but get most all the members pissed off at you( trust me i know just ask around, but all is cool now)

as for the rebuild, i was thinking about a complete oem rebuild from Flatlander Racing, but replacing the stock pistons with a set(brand undecided) of 8.5:1 compresion forged pistons.

now if you could explain on what problems or quirks a very mechanically versed person or group of guys might encounter

thanks!

Unless you plan on turbo...I wouldn't use the 8.5:1 pistons, the pistons out of a 89 KA24E are at 9.0:1 and are still factory. &nbsp;Thats what I'm going to do with mine. &nbsp;It's not really that difficult to rebuild if you have a general idea of what needs to be done and how things work. &nbsp;You would be looking at about 300$ in machine work on top of whatever you might have paid for the parts. &nbsp;With the head, it's pretty easy to do. &nbsp;You would have to have your head flow tested &nbsp;which is usually about 175$. &nbsp;If you are consistent with your work, and rush the machine shop, you could have it done in about a week. &nbsp;I think the biggest part is just pulling the motor out, you could do it with it still in the car, but you have a lot less room to work, and you would have to get the head and oil pan off to get the pistons and rods out. &nbsp;I've seen people do it that way but it's easier to pull it and do it that way.
