Oh man that sucks

Oh well... at 5psi and mild tune the car popped POS hypereutic piston. Even though, YES, the engine was quoted to have 'forged' pistons out of the box. So much for that BS. I can deal though. Some JE's will be going in and forged rods. A cylinder is going to be sleeved as well for good measure. After this the thing should be monster. Forged for SURE and ready for more psi... thinking max 10-12 for safety and hmmm... I don't know from there. The block is being disassembled at a shop in CT (Grieco) by an old 5.0 guy that started back in the day and had an 8 sec 5oh when it was really a challenge!!!! I'll post details later.

BIG #'s after this stage!!!!

might as well bore out the block some more and get a better piston like diamond. i dont like crate motor stuff

Looking at JE Forged Pistons and Rods. Don't know if I want to punch out for the expense. I'll know more tomorrow. I might be happy taking back the gains from not punching out with a few more psi on stout internals.
