OK I don't want this to sound vague but I have a 93 B18A with about 115,000 miles on it and I am pretty sure the rings are going(oil in the spark plugs)well I am going to replace those,the rear main seal is leaking,I need a new clutch but what else on the engine needs to be redone?I figure the water pump but what seals or bearings,if any,need to be replaced before I boost this puppy?I am only going to be running around 8-10 psi so I don't want new rods and pistons and such just a good rebuilt stock motor to start boosting with.some pointers or steps in the right direction besides what I have already listed would be great.
thanks,
Jeremy

 

anyone?

 

Why dont you get all new bearings, and replace all the seals. Basically build it

 

o.k.

what i know is needed for my rebuild

headgasket kit (might be cheaper than buying parts separately - you'll get everything to rebuild the cylinder head) - aside, you might as well get stronger bolts - like arp
lower gasket kit (you'll end up with extra water pump seal)
main bearings, lower bearings, and rod bearings
pistons/rods - might as well get them since rebuilding.. boost will put much stress on everything..

oil pump - some people replace that - up to you - i'm keeping mine, but with less milage than your car.


you could just have seals under your spark plugs leaking.. do compression test..
