engine rebuild - genuine parts or aftermarket?

[Dr_S]

I am rebuilding F7R-714 engine and for start I will rebuild bottom end.

Should I use genuine Renault parts or aftermarket?
If aftermarket than from which company?

Are there ARP head bolts for F7R engine?

Tnx

hi mate..either only difference is budget..

most motor factors can supply parts..

there are none available at the moment arps though i'm working on a set with stan..

Any specific parts? ie head gasket Spesso ...

[MAXIBOY]

just good quality..AE bearings ..payne gaskets ..and headbolts.
not sure on rings as i tend to rebore and fit new pistons..most of the stuff from motors factors is top kit..gates belts and tensioner sets..

only thing iss get from renault are oil pumps and smaller oil and core plugs plus odd items..

most can be found cheaper and the same/better quality elsewhere

I've got main bearings, big end bearings & thrust washers for sale, not OE but I got them from stan so they'll be top quality, and cheap as I don't need them :wink:
