alright so i put my truck back on the road finally and felt a huge difference in the power the boost kicks in and everything runs fine but im blowing a bit of smoke and im spooling later then what i use to and it doesn't have as much power as it use to have
so yesterday after doing some talking with some buddies of mine we decided to pull it in the shop and do a compression test on it on cylinder 1 i had a compression of about 23 :facepalm: after doing cylinder 1 we didn't bother to do any of the other cylinders. lucky enough the car starts and is able to drive so i took her hope and now i plan on throwing in some new pistons and rods.
the pistons i have been looking at are the arias 8.8 cr stan. size
and for the rods i was looking at the Carrillo
and for now leaving the head stock until i save up a bit more so i can do work on that
for the head gasket i was looking at a ajusa kit which comes with a mls gasket for the head
i plan on keeping the car for a dd and only want from 350 - 500whp on it
so let me know what you guys think about my ideas so far and lemee get some feed back :crazy:
