Hello everyone! My name is Steve, I have stalked the forums for a while and finally decided to join. You can see in my sig what I have done to my stang so far, as well as my cardomain page. I warn you my cardomain page is really old and hasn't been updated in a while (does have rebuild pics from the first time).
To make a long story short as to why I am rebuilding my motor again (2nd time in two years) is because I went cheap last time and had the machine shop hone the walls and I put in oversized rings. BAD IDEA. Motor burns a quart every 300 miles. So I am back to square one, but it is ok because I'm adding all the things you seen in my sig as well.
Just a few questions...will my connecting rods be ok to use again (they have approx 160,000 miles on them)? And my crank...I had it balanced last time so should that be ok to go back in (same mileage)?
Look forward to meeting all of you.
