What are the go to brands for forged parts nowadays?
I'm not going mad with power, about 300-350ish and 1.4-1.5 bar boost.
I wanted to stick with a stock thickness head gasket (1.2mm?) But should I go with a MLS one or stock Toyota?
Also, dished or flat pistons for my expected power output? I would like to maintain the cr if I can, but if it is a real pinch point, I will have to go dished.
Arp headbolts, stock or arp stud upgrade?
Should I only rebore if needed, or should I go up to the next size anyway?
Crank looks good from initial look. Do people generally get it ground and go with 0.25 oversize bearings or just get the current one polished?
Should I get the block decked anyway, or leave if ok?
What brand engine bearings are people using? I've used ACL on my stock rebuilds in the past.
Will I benefit from uprated valve springs if not going above stock rev limit (or not by much)?
Is there anything else worth considering for 300-350 bhp max? Perhaps a mild port and polish on the head? Race spec cam cover?
Thanks
