If you knew the history of the engine and it was low mileage you could get away with not even doing that.
How come you blew your last engine, 2JZ is very strong.

Not sure really one minute i was bombing along and the next all i could see was white i thought i'd gone to heaven but soon found out it was more like hell! I don't know if it over boosted or the mixture was lean either way the conrod broke and put holes in the sides of the engine which i can now pick bits of the piston head out of.
I was thinking of putting forged pistons and conrods in along with a metal head gasket. Are there any i should avoid i was told the je are good. Or am i better off spending the money else where?
Thanks
