Thats a very vague question. What are you looking for? increase in power? stock?

port the heads (more power)
knife edge, micro pollish and ballance crank (less rotational mass)
Angled valve job, new valve seals/guides, springs and retainers (performance and reliability)

alot of things you can do... that would be a good start...

There's hypereutectic pistons available:

I think there also might be rods and pistons from other vehicle(s) that work in LQ1's, someone will likely know for sure.

If it is a mid-95 engine or older, I'd be looking to perform the lifter/oil pressure modification as detailed in the service bulletin.

Parts will be hard to find, though. Some of 'em are generic cup plugs--and that'd be fairly easy. I don't know about the cam thrust plates, though. Perhaps scalp some from a newer engine and see what's different. Maybe we can modify the ones we have.
