Dr. Pat or Patrick
(what ever you prefer) I was thinking of doing a complete work over of the
internals of my V-6. Including a new cam, heads,valve springs roller
rockers, pistons etc. for the money would I be better of getting a bigger
v-8 instead ? I m sure the price for all that work would about equal a new
engine.
