Motor build

Hey All,


Couple of questions, I have a FD I pulled the motor out of and started the rebiuld phase. I have thought long and hard about what mods to complete on the motor and so far I am going to lapp the side housings, buy new rotor housings, new rotors, exhaust port, small street port, Balance assembly(e shaft, rotors, and flywheel) polish rotor faces and use bruce turintines 2mm seals and rebiuld kit. I know this is going to be a loaded question but here it is Does anyone think I should not perform somethign in this list and should I do some other stuff while I am in there ?

clean up the ports

and dont' buy new rotors - used if they are destroyed

and if you get new make sure they come with the bearings other wise that would be another wait
