Hi I am looking to rebuild my ATC soon and I have a few questions. It smokes a lot so I think I will need at least new rings but likely a bore with new piston and rings.
While its apart I want to do timing chain and guides (I have heard best is DID cam chains as there are multiple chinese chain lengths but only one ATC length) Any particular brand of guides that are best?
I would like to redo the valves as well. What is the best place to buy new valves and can I do the valve lapping myself or is it better to outsource that to a machine shop?
If I do need new pistons and rings, I have considered buying a stock 200X piston and rings for a little more power than stock and possibly a 200X or XR200 cam. Are these worthwhile upgrades and will the other cams fit right in? Worth it for Weisco pistons or would something like Shindy work just as well? Not planning on racing or anything.
Thanks
