ebay acl pistons
- Thread starter danysbanshee
- Start date
The engine is at the machine shop. It had .020 pistons. They said it was OK at .020 but as long as I needed new pistons we went .040. I want to get the motor together than start trying to figure out what to do about engine management.It has a newer rebuilt 60-1 w 10 degree clip?? From what i've read,not to dependable. As always your help has been invaluable.

(Sadly I know what a closed end gap dead motor looks like)
Details? Fortunately, it's the ONLY time I've let my testosterone do the talking/tuning (long story short, I had it tuned WOT MAF system @ 7psi. Cranked up to 10psi without adding more fuel, since the MAF was pegged and I was unaware of this until the logs afterward. This is why I converted to speed density on that car, and won't run without a WB02 gauge anymore
)My rings broke the pistons (2 of them) between 1 and 2 - I figured that the rings overheated, and either a) closed the gap and *snap* or b) swelled in the ring land, and *crack*
Educate a youngster here
Warm day long hill and not quite enough fuel system 30 psi 1 heat range too hot plugs and an IC that was about 100hp too small.....
Closed an end gap burnt a ground electrode off a plug and trashed a cylinder wall.
Very ugly so my new block got it's 2nd bore since I bought it.
