City Hunter Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I got bored and decided to toss these on to see how they fit. To my suprisem they are about perfect. Some fender flares and I could probably make it look real nice. I could probably drive it as is right now as thats the way it will sit when on the ground. All that tire gets me excited.

City Hunter Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 After f'n with heads, I got pissed and ripped the engine back out, but still didnt see anything on number 2. I started pulling the rings off, I noticed a bit of a crack but I couldnt tell if it was cracked or scratched. I got down tot eh upper oil ring and popped it off, mind you all the rings are cherry. A friggan chunk of piston fell out. Looks lik the second ring land broke good. I guess those clevite pistons I bought were worth about as much as a chinese f'n hammer. Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 ugh. heartbreak huh? we were all waiting to see this thing fire. slicks look really mean on there!! well, build that bottom end and button it down proper. Quote Link to comment
City Hunter Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 its basically new. I only need one piston. The bore wasnt affected, I ran my bore gauge down and it's all good. I might buy a new set of higher compression pistons but I havent decided yet. I'm recovering from a nasty hangover. Quote Link to comment

City Hunter Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Been awhile I will post up some pics when I get home. I took it for a test drive the other day. Wired up the alt wrong and killed the exciter over night. Right now I basically need a full exhaust, and a battery. I really need to builde a surge tank as well it would probably be finished but I've been working on a 5spd turbo conversion to my 87 montero swb Quote Link to comment
