Tuning vs Reliability. Potentials and limitations.

Just remember my engine... it can take a whole lot of punishment, as long as you oil it properly...

I'm of the same opinion. I want to go further with my engine but I can't afford to reduce its lifespan. I am seriously considering rebuilding it for this reason, peace of mind, and also the fact that I'd love to do it anyway.

on the other i wouldn't want to open the engine without having to change headgasket for example, as i know that the engine cannot be tighten the same way it was done by the factory.

True but if you have the right tools (which I don't ) then you can do a good job and be happy with the knowledge your engine is as good as new. Not to mention potential for upgraded parts.
