SU test engine moves on ,, we tried getting some higher compression pistons out of a L18 we had laying around. We got the pistons out in a usable condition but i broke the bottom ring land on the first piston i cleaned up trying to get that soft sumbitch outta there, then went to Tumwater pick a part (which is now picknpull) and pistons are now $24.99 plus $2.99 core for each piston, so we scrapped that idea and went with the originals ,,, oh well.
 
 
L18 it's pretty fucked up,, we have others that could have been picked for parts but would rather those be saved to be actual running engines.

FAT510 honed it but i had him go easy as you can see by the top of ring pattern in cylinder but figured if it breaks rings it's already out of car anyways and it might be a good (and cheap)  learning type thing if any do end up breaking,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ok i was to cheap to have it bored.. :P :fu:

Not real ground breaking but it is something ,,and we only bent 1 oil ring because of crappy ring compressor.

Yeah but if you use a good compressor and not have a 18 year old beating on the piston with the RUBBER HAMMER of DOOM.. it should go pretty easy. My compressor was bought some times in the late 80s .. To help settle your nerves a tiny bit i went out and took a oic of my ring compressor to show we aren't exactly working with Richard Petty racing  quality tools to begin with.. :rofl: :rofl:

The over lap is what dropped down into the cylinder like this picture shows ( i was taking a picture of the bulge )

But being nervous to do it right is what makes it worth it when nothing goes wrong..
