Building a bottom end
Building a bottom end
Ok, so heres my first post so I'll try to keep it short( I'm not good at writing things like this).
So I baught a 2003 G35 with 100,000 miles with nasty oil consumption. I changed my valve guide seals but its still blowing smoke and burning oil so I need to change my piston rings.I figure why not build up my bottom end while I'm at it?
Only one problem, I'm a total noob at this, but maby with the help I get more people can benefit from the info
1. So first off whats Included in building a bottom end parts wise?
2. What are my options aftermarket and oem wise and what do they go for?

Normally I'd delete this thread because as a n00b you have a responsibility to familiarize yourself with the forum rules. The header of this sub-forum specifically states "NO CAR QUESTIONS!" yet here we are.
However your post was not drivel so I'm moving it to the appropriate place.

Building a bottom end is no easy task. But it is doable. Best to have help from a good mechanically inclined friend. I've read some great write-ups on builds. One was on 350z forum. It's more active these days. Here is a link to 10 tips to building a powerful and reliable VQ35DE.

You will need some specialty tools for measuring certain degrees, clearances,etc.
Read all the DIY and build guides you can on the internet. Your answers can't be achieved from a thread post. It's not the easiest engine to build.
