    Hey so Im rebuilding my 93 2wd toyota pick up i got for 400 bucks. I sold my last 93 and missed it alot. so i started looking for another one. thought i found a good deal ran ok but couldnt pass smog turned out the rings were bad. so i pulled my motor. first rebuild in process. just sent the block to the shop. I was thinking of just going with the master rebuild kit from lce engineering. I believe i was looking at the economical rebuild kit for 300 bucks. but i thought i would ask everyone here while i have everything apart if there are any good mods i can do while keeping it on somewhat budget. so far all im doing is getting my block bored .20 because the number 2 cylinder had some scoring on the cylinder wall. so what should i do. what do you guys think of gapless piston rings? do they do anything? can i do anything to my stock crankshaft for reasonable price ? the pistons im getting are hypertec street pistions from lce they come with the kit.. any advice would be great i figured while its out spend the extra money i dont want to now then change my mind and wish i did it later.

    Get a cam and is valve kit from engnbldr.
    Ps. You need gaps in your piston rings
