If you plan on tearing it apart.. Just go ***** deep and get new apex seals, oil control seals, and coolant seals plus all of the gasket set and check the step wear on the plates.

Don't half *** it. You will thank me in the end. Sure you can do a cheap teardown and port job but as of the way it sits the seals are probably happy where they are. Disturb them and you will end up blowing a coolant seal or something else quite quickly.

Honestly I would check Pineapple before Atkins.

Wish I knew my old login info here. I've been around for nearly 15 years.

A reason to use 3mm apex seals is because on some rotors, the apex seal groove is out of spec (too large for 2mm apex seals to be used safely) and is then machined to fit the 3mm apex seals within specifications.

Street port is pretty much necessary at those power levels.

search some more

"time slips and dyno" sub forum has plenty of information on setups

I don't think you're going to use your N332 to get there unless you get an rtek 2.1
