Weak part of cobra motor???

[sct12]

A friend is buying a low mileage rotating assembly from an 03 to swap over to a 2 valve. I was wondering what should be done like piston swap, rod bolts are what since he is already there? Any info will be appreciated.

Pistons, ARP 2000 Rod Bolts and Main Studs and he would be pretty well set.

Can I reuse the rings?

Anyone?

No, do not reuse rings. Unless you want to rebuild the motor again shortly after you install it. Rings will usually run you $125 if they do not come with the Piston set.

do you have to rehone, where is the best place to buy? And what dish is best to go with for 2 valve heads?
