7M-GTE - "Light" Re-Build Question

Chambers · 05-22-2008, 02:24 AM

Hi all, I was thinking of buying a 7M-GTE. If I go ahead and buy it I won't be looking for a lot of horse power, just a step up from a NA.

My question is, what should I look into for a "light" re-build, besides the obvious head gasket and machine work, assuming everything checks out such as compression, valve shim clearances, and theres no sign of incorrect wear on any components in the bottom end. Thanks.
