Got my pistons :)
The engine will be ready soon, time to order more parts... 83.5mm 8.5:1 https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...da614abbb.jpeg |
Head got surfaced and a rebuild, block machined to 83.5mm and surfaced, all engine parts got acid cleaned.
The crank is one mil smaller then spec - a decision will be made on sunday and the assembly. Got the oil cooler adapter, oil pressure sensor and all the rest. What ring gap should I go for ? it is a street car. The rings manual says 0.050" I saw people go 0.043"... - aiming at 20-25psi of boost. At what gap do they come from the manufacture ? https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...b4671b09c.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1309649e7.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...9768a2767.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1570109ec.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...fa0dc94f8.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...641d89479.jpeg |
Weisco XX rings? Follow the instructions. I know 100% that .0050 is wrong. It's a multiplication factor of the bore size.
I highly recommend having te machine shop gap the rings. |
I was wrong with the numbers, the factor is 0.0050" the bore is 83.5mm=3.287" so my ring gap should be 0.0050"*3.287"=0.0164" right ?
Thanks |

Im surprised you bought your pistons after having the block bored. What is your piston to wall gap?
|
your pistons are in backwards.

The picture is from the back
|
It was an engine builder joke. first thing I tell everyone who just finished a build.
|
I actually did install 2 pistons backwards....:facepalm:
|
No they aren't.
|
Yes they are.

I like turtles

Dropped my heart there with the backward joke...

Next thing is getting the ARP2000 replacement for the con rod bolt that I broke with a bad torque wrench. A double torque routine for head studs is a must ? Thanks |
Nice progress.
I use triple routine: 20, 40, 55-60 (depending on whether you're using lube or not) |
I mean do the 25-45-65 twice... tight loose and tight again...
