looking for piston selection info!!!!!
is there any performance gains to be had by buying say weisco pistons and eagle rods? if not i can just get a 400 dollar rebuild kit off ebay. My 03 2.4 galant hasn't blown up or anything it just started leaking oil onto my serpentine belts and i don't know why. Its not leaking onto my timing belt at all and i don't even have a bottom timing belt cover on it. i was thinking about just pulling the whole thing out and rebuilding it since i just hit 200k and it leaks every fluid but gas and only ever left me stranded once in 2 years (pretty reliable in my book). But back to it i wanted to know since i'm not doing any crazy upgrades just standard stuff like exhaust, cold air intake, throttle body, headers, maybe a different cam and possibly a fuel pump. Its bone stock currently beside the square kicker i just added. so what do you guys think any advantages/ reasons worth paying 800 - 1200 for piston and rods is better tan pay 400 for the kit (buying better gaskets) and and keep my old rods?
