I have used those hand held steamer things they don't do a whole lot, you will feel lame sitting there using it. All it does is shoot steam and it doesn't have the high pressure water you need to blast grime away. Might be good for little things but trust me you will feel like a fool sitting...

A pressure washer would do a much better job IMO, especially a heated "steam" pressure washer. Honestly, just use some degreaser, go to your local self serve car wash and pressure wash your engine down, comes out sparkling clean every time.

They used to be a vendor on here, now they are not, need i say more?

What is the safest max oil clearance to run on the main bearings without having to worry about excessive wear or oil pressure drop? I clearanced my mains to find the crank is a bit smaller than spec, and it puts my oil clearance to about .002" with a #5 bearing. Is this too large? Should i have...

Hook up a real mechanical oil pressure gauge and then go off of those results. The stock gauge should not be used for diagnosis

What should i recommend to my machinist when doing the hone for the Total Seal rings that come with the Probe pistons? Is there a specific RA that it calls for?

They come with Total Seal rings supposedly, and according to everyone here they are basically trash because they are next to impossible to seat in our blocks.

Can OEM rings be used in probe pistons?

Why did they design it so the metal on the edge of the crown near the intake valves is so incredibly thin?

Breaker bar, Lisle cooling system funnel, deadblow hammer, brass drifts, oil filter wrench

WOW awesome PDF.. Thank you!

first just drain the whole thing, the radiator and the engine block, make sure the heater is on high, and remove the thermostat. Then close up the block drain but leave the radiator drain partially open, then run the hose into the radiator opening until it fills up and start the car. Just keep...

There are plenty of people with used std size pistons they dont need, including myself. If you want me to send you one good one, i can do that, i have a set of stock std size pistons in pretty good shape, clean as well.

It depends where the imperfections are and how bad they are. Lay the gasket on the block and check if the gasket is over the imperfections, if its not then you dont need to worry. I would stick with the stock coating on the MHG, it is probably a better choice than stripping it and using copper...

Was the piston dropped?

Most likely the distributor o ring, if its leaking from where the distributor slides into the head.

yo..

Cajun can you please get more info on these and pictures? Im doing a build right now and want to go with stock internals, but i also dont want to pay $400+ Just for stock pistons/rings when thats costs just the same as forged almost. I dont want to use NPR's if they are cheap and shitty either...

OEM Pistons also cost about $50-$60 a piece... And a piston ring set costs around $200

So what rings are the best choice for a BPU build? OEM? Are the prices rediculous for OEM? Are there any aftermarkets that make a similar ring to OEM?
