2002 ls1 rebuild Hi guys
Whats a good Rebuild kit. Atm ill be using 241 heads with a BTR duel spring kit If its in the budget ill get 243 heads, would like to go forged for NX kit later. Gonna use stock crank because they seem to be tuff . Just looking for a nice kit with forged rods and pistons. what would you all recommend. im going with a large cam as well. which I know NX kits dont love . Not above going .030 over and going with a higher compression piston set up .
Edit had to change it to .030 didn't catch the type-o on 1st draft

WS6 Store can do an excellent rebuild kit for your project.
.005 hone is probably all that's needed.
The LS1 blocks:
1997–1998 LS1 5.7L aluminum blocks can only be safely honed (not even bored!) just 0.004-inch over the stock bore diameter.
Improved liner positioning in 1999-and later 5.7L LS1 blocks and all LS6 blocks permit boring up to 0.010-inch oversize.
Unfortunately you are SOL, if wanting to go 0.030-over for a reliable LS1 aluminum block rebuild.
