Pistoleon Question

[ganma_ca]

Well I guess as mag said though, maybe if the girdle bolts up and I buy some forged pistons screw the oil squirters! (though I think in heat reduction/and friction they are great for a longevity factor). Or as r34 said just buy someones short block on here, but that's exactly what I did before and got raped on a crap motor. I don't want the exact same thing to happen again because I might have to beat the $#&% out of the person if they sell me some crap. Never an easy solution lmao!!!!!! You guys are all awesome:) I wish I had bought my set from someone like you guys who know what's up and wouldn't try to screw an honest person on a deal! Props to all of ya

An ks13 so the situation you described, is basically blow by right, because the rings are F@3ked up?

Oo and P.S. I found the article where Dee sets a guy straight trying to do a det to et head to block swap. But I kinda already figured that out. Good idea, but wayyyy to go nissan. big FAIL. I guess I'll just be car-less for awhile, freakin need tax returns lol!!! And a CA that all ya'll can vouch for so I know I'm not getting ripped off next time lol!

im in same boat... bought a motor set engine had blown head gasket and 3 crank ring lands and rust in cyl 4.. now im saving for cp pistons and gona just bore it .040 over and throw em in and finish it up if the block cant be fixed by a .040 i got another shortblock i pik up with a cranked ring land...

hopefully ill finally havea motor together withing 3 months. i just got laid off so i need to find a jnob befor i can spend my moneies

yes boost would blow right past the rings into the crankcase.

have you done the test to verify you have destroyed pistons?

you cant assume even though Im sure just listening to it.

Lol will do, but it sounds like you know your stuff so what you say is more then likely true! I'll try doing your test here at some point. I just need to take a break from it all for awhile before I go crazy lmao And then when the guys in the white coats ask me why im in the luney bin, I will just say Engines, ENGINES, mwahahahhahaaaaa! Thanks for the info though, that is going to prove to be really helpful!
