I would not worry too much about the pistons unless it does not quiet down a little after it warms up real good. Mine sounds like a diesel when its cold. After I hit boost a few times it sounds fairly normal but it still has a distinctive forged piston sound. I have Ross pistons and they are...

I hear that IJ. One time I had a .010" under crank that needed to be ground again and the machinist said that .020" would be pushing it and I should bring him another crank.

If you cant get traction with a 4.3 and 400hp you have crappy tires or they are not wide enough or both. The Nitto 555r was gripping like crazy on the street and I got about 20k miles out of them. A street legal race tire like the Falken rt-215/rt-615 or Kumho Victoracer or Yokohama a032r or...

I think we will polish it first, then balance it, then grind it. :crazy1: No, JK, I'll let the machine shop figure it out. I pay other people to get that done right.

Really? I'll try that. But either way, the crank will be magnafluxed then ground, mircopolished, shot peened and balanced, and a microsleve installed on the rear of the crank for the rear main seal. I have another crank for my customer if this one is unusable.

The bearing was just gone, nothing left of it, and somehow the crank does not look all that bad.

Yeah, were all a bunch of idiots. Talk dumber.

I really did not notice a huge difference with the 4.30 but it does launch better and it basically feels like you have more power. It does rev a little higher on the freeway but not bad. Going from 3.7 to 4.3 is only about a 14% change. If it was at 3000 rpm at freeway speed with the 3.70, it...

Reguardless, a wider tire will have more traction then a more narrow tire of the same model, right? I agree with the rest of what you said but there are a few other important things. The sidewall of the tire affects the traction too. The RT-615 has a thick reinforced sidewall. They had...

I am running a 4.30 diff and 275/40/17 falken RT-615's and it is a great combination. I had drag radials before (Nitto 555r) and they did hook up a little better on the street in 1st gear but overall the RT-615 performs better in all other situations. No problems with 20psi in 2nd or higher and...

Yes, we can rebuild a jdm 7mgte and our machine shop will put a <15 ra surface on the head and deck. Usually the ra comes out to about 8 on their new mill. It is a uber-expensive machine ($100,000+). I would not recommend lapping a block by hand. You have to disassemble the block to have it...

I have a customer's "rebuilt" engine in my garage from k-wat, blew a hg in about 6k miles. We have rebuilt lots of "rebuilt" engines. I have a bhg collection of old hg's. Usually they just pull the pan and look inside and sell it as reconditioned. Most places can not surface the head and deck as...

we sell 7m-ge and 7m-gte engines on www.driftmotion.com, and we compression and leak-down test them before shipping. Shipping is usually more then $130 but the total price would still be less then the prices from the other guy. Cressida engines are the only 7m-ge's coming out of Japan these...

The stuff he is selling looks poorly made, but nothing a little bondo and paint wouldn't fix.

How about this one?

Just remove all the plugs and use a bottle brush and some carb cleaner, should be fine.

Well you did have metal shavings circulating through the pump at some point. I know you said you were low on oil, but maybe the pump was on its way out. Also, if you don't resize the rods and you throw new bearings in there, the clearances might be off. The oil pressure was low enough to kill a...

So after doing some reading I see that the maft pro (with accys) can replace my maf-t, maf sensor, Greddy boost controller, AND super afc!?! And it will also possibly use the 0-5v wideband output from my zt-2!?! I want one! And the comments from the guy having problems sound exactly like the...

Looks real nice!
