So its ready for the engine and trany but i havent had the money to purchase the parts to do it (and i want to keep it as cheep as possible)the block is taken apart (all parts are removed)the cylinder head has a broken rocker arm... i have no idea what to do with this...???

Squrlsquash Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 have not done a complete rebuild on the starion engine myself yet- but i have ideas on a couple parts balance shaft elimination kit + complete cam timing kit from http://www.enginemachineservice.com/conquest.html (probably good to have rotating assembly balanced during rebuild too keep vibrations under control) he sells pistons, rings and whatnot as wellalso complete top and bottom gasket sets sells all the engine parts you mention as far as i know and you should probably do the oil pump while there not sure you can really get decent parts and do good engine work on the cheap. good luckAaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jszucs Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Well let me prefice this with..... This is how I got started in this car. I though I was going to do a quick slop together rebuild. Parts are hard to come by, and your going to run into lots of other random stuff that was really neglected on the car. (I never did end up doing that quick slop together rebuild BTW, I'm years and $$$$ in) Where to get parts.... http://www.enginemac...m/conquest.html is a great resource. Other then that.... pretty much whereever you can. Just make sure they really have the part, lots online say they do and then a week later... O we don't have that.
