I am currently building my IX motor with a SETA crank, rods and pistons. I've got everything super cleaned and ready for assembly but I need to purchase rings, and bearings first.
1)First question is about rings. I know they're 84MM Bore.. but I want to buy GOETZE rings, and I cant seem to find a part number. Can anyone give me a number, or a place i can buy a set of 6 for a really good price?
2)Second question is about rod and main bearings. I've been reading that glyco bearings are what I should be using. Again I cant seem to find a part number for either ros or main bearings. Anyone able to source these in sets for a good price?
3) I am running boots on this setup, so I was curious about whether or not to upgrade the rods, rod bearings, and rod bolts to ARP. Then I came across these for sale, and read that in Europe, alot of people are using them with good success.
Maxspeeding forged h-beam connecting rods.
The reviews are good and the price is surprisingly outstanding and they come with ARP bolts.
I also never heard of these before either but for connecting ros bearings, they seem affordable and are suppose to beat coated and of better material. CATUNED is selling them, so I dont think they can be that bad... anyone have any input on these?
King rod/main bearings
Anyway, I need to know where I can also source main studs, and whether i should be just going with OEM BMW main studs, or if I should use ARP. the maximum HP this motor will ever see will be about 400WHP, but probably more like 280 - 340 for majority of its life. I'm running megasquirt with 93oct. And only between 12 - 18psi.
Any input and direction would help me greatly.. I'm hoping to start buying parts within the next day or so and want the best bang for the money. Hoping to find out what's going to be more cost effective.. and if those performance parts are worth it, I will gladly buy them over OEM parts.
