I agree... Looks like the fire ring held?....must be warped??w
well the fire ring held.... but.... that don't look pretty. Lay a straight edge on that deck and see if you can stuff a .010 feeler gauge in there.
You guys are scaring me?....what do you mean??.....tuner is coming tomorrow,I sent him pic and he said same thing,the fire ring held?... there's something going on!,prob warpage.....f###############k!As thermally stable as iron is, the stock 302 block is pretty thin, and most newer aftermarket heads are pretty thick. Would not surprise me at all if the block went before the heads, you're at the level now anyway where the valley is a ticking grand canyon.
Oh God!....I'll find out tomorrow.....if I have to pull the motor crate motor here I come...If it does happen to be warpage.... and the block must either be machined or replaced. now may be the time to bite the bullet and get a aftermarket block. OR 351 and reuse anything and everything you can.
I know it's not what you want to hear but the stock block is near the limit with what you are making now. Bigger injectors and a few more psi and it kablewy.
Ya short block...we see tomorrow though....man oh man... why a crate motor? You make plenty of power now....
Unless get a shortblock.
Ok i understand that....so assuming my block is good?....by bad you mean re deck heads?if the head or deck is warped, it doesn't matter how much you overtorque the bolts. All you will will do is end up compressing the HG more and warping the head- aluminum warps easier than a stock iron head.
As you didnt have a true straight edge I can't say for sure, but .if you can feel the indentation and there is at least .003 of gap, that isn't good bro
What cc combustion chamber is on the car now ? Maybe now could be a good time to change the head as in just the same head with a bigger combustion chamber .New heads??!!!!
They are 58cc.I was thinking the same thing....but $$$$......!!!What cc combustion chamber is on the car now ? Maybe now could be a good time to change the head as in just the same head with a bigger combustion chamber .
Have yours gone through and sell to offset the cost just to bring the compression down a bit .
Sent from my iPhone using my fingers while my auto correct makes me seem illiterate
Another option I discussed with the tuner....waiting for his email as we speakSeriously?? All that cost to just lower the CR? Would it not be more cost effective to just pull a few degrees of timing or lower the psi, your running meth right? The cooling effect will stave off detonation very well.
Just my .02
