Well, I was out riding around yesterday on my recently purchased 1998 XP Limited (got a good deal on it), aaaand on my way home from aquapalooza, the engine stalled, and upon trying to restart, I could hear there was no compression (not surprised because I knew the engine wasn't in the best shape). I haven't dug into it yet, but lets assume the crank and pistons are bad. What are the best parts to rebuild/build this engine with? I can do all the labor myself (excluding machining obviously), so I'm looking to maybe rebuild it so it'll have a little extra power, or just last forever.
I'm kind of looking at this.

Thanks!

Side note: I already have rebuilt my 2000 RX engine, I used all SBT parts, it runs fine, but now that I've been reading up on this forum, I have heard bad things about the SBT pistons.
