    05 RXT

    My 05 RXT decided to drop a valve. (Trying to load pics.) so one piston and head is ruined. Would y’all recommend just doing standard rebuild on bottom end with new head and roll on or would you say cheaper to put a sbt motor in? Or just do a .20 over with aftermarket parts from torxracing. I have just always heard mixed good and bad on sbt motors.

    Ok I’ll do that. I read a lot of your post and obviously know what your doing so do you recommend just standard new pistons new head and roll or would you have it bored?

    Well just got called from machine shop and the block is cracked in the cylinder that dropped the valves. So do y’all recommend sbt crate engine or another aftermarket company?

    I am assuming from experience you have found rebuilding better than bought remaned?
