I would just seal the whole thing. Front main, rear main, oil cooler, Etc.
Might want head studs or valve springs if planning for turbo.
Bearings should be replaced. For $200 ish it is well worth replacing them
Alright. So measuring valve spring seating for shimming my comp 910 valve springs.
Which one is the intake and which the exhaust? One is clearly longer and the other doesn’t need shimming.
I measured them all out and they seem to be about good on either the exhaust or intake haven’t figured it...
I need rings for my new pistons. I bought some rings that were not keystoned not realizing I need a top ring keystone. the pistons I bought say to use ring #s42104.030. Pistons are .30 over.
The problem is I can only find single cylinder sets.
I Can buy 8 at $40 a piece, but wondering if there...
I got great clearance with the new rod bearings I picked up.
The not keystoned rings I had were not able to fit in the groove on the new pistons.
I was able to find that the pistons said to use rings s42104.030
Well I have found that I need keystones top ring for the new pistons. There is only 2 brand available.
The wrong ones are the engine tech brand. They say top ring is not keystone.
The other is Hastings and they do not say that they aren’t but don’t say they are.
How do I tell if they are...
Old ring is .1125
New is .1105
Hard to see but the the old ring is beveled and the new pistons are beveled too.
Small side of the old beveled ring is .0890
Guys we have a slight problem. Top piston ring.
The top piston ring does not fit correctly in the piston. On the old pistons it is a beveled ring and they fit fine, but the new ones are square with a little bevele.
Does anyone know what is going on?
Can I just reuse my old top ring?
They...
Well tonight I got the block painted. I also did the crankshaft polish.
Doing some measuring for clearances.
How important is the wrist pin clearances? New pistons and wrist pins.
