LSX time???

greg and i decided we r leaving your car in the garage. you arent going to rebuild the motor in the garage. you arent going to fab up the turbo kit. you are taking parts places, so why r you moving the car?

True statement, then you will know the actual valve/piston clearance. Would make life a lot less stressful

x1234567890 why wait till your dealing with all new parts ? gather your data now . so your new ish will work better . knowing is better than wondering .


and 1 more thing jon ... chin up buttercup .... the juice will be worth the squeeze!
 
clayed one piston and threw a head on and 1 chain, everything seemed to clear, no marks and we put enough clay to come up past the valve reliefs. I didnt use a checker spring but this gives me an idea, i have tons of clearance .I dont know why they put such deep reliefs in the pistons. also took everything apart, bearings look fine, crank and rods look fine. So it looks like a new set of pistons, rings, head gaskets, machine work and ill proly throw new bearings in it

And im pretty sure these heads should have more clearance because they took out angle from the stock 2v heads

if you put enough clay higher than the normal PTV point then tell them to give you new pistons without the reliefs
 
Also, since EVERY piston broke in the exact same spot. I'd be so inclined to see if the piston manufacture could foot the bill for the machining.
