I pulled the engine out of my Regal for a rebuild. I was experiencing minor runability issues such as spark knock, lack of power, missing out...

I pulled the engine with the intentions of rebuilding it completely. Now I am curious if I should just put a cam, lifters and timing chain in.

There was no knocking, no shavings in the pan. All tolerances are correct.

Please advise.

how much cash are u willin to spend?

:biggrin: As little as possible....

I've already got the damn thing out and on a stand....I would beat my own ass if I just did the top end and 6 months later something happens in the lower end.

I guess I'm answering my own ?. Just wanted to see what you guys thought.....

how do you know your tolerances are correct? you have a dial bore gauge? and have the heads off? i garuntee theres some wear in the cylinders.go ahead and rebuild it. itll only be a couple hunderd bucks.

I agree. I pulled the lower end apart last night. There was a considerable amount of wear on the rod bearings.

Thanks for the good advice.
