why stock pistons and 5M? rings? are you using stock oversized pistons?

[3sgelevin]

what do you mean by why stock pistons?

block has been bored to accomodate +.10mm piston rings

why stock pistons and 5M? rings? are you using stock oversized pistons?

Usually when you overbore an engine you'd get stronger pistons.

[Smaay]

so you had the block bored over 1MM? and you have 1MM oversized rights? did you put in 1MM oversized pistons. im trying to figure out what was done. cause if you didnt, that engine needs to come apart. what is the ring gap set to?

[3sgelevin]

sorry bro but this is for the non racers like you

so your telling me that you cant reuse pistons

arent the 3sgte pistons strong they only break because people abuse it

Usually when you overbore an engine you'd get stronger pistons.

sorry i dont have any info since a machine shop built the engine
i can try to ask them if they remember its been a while and they get engines in and out all day
i know that they installed a + .10 bigger piston ring but used the same pistons
i trust the shop since they built my 5sgte and 2jzgte
so im not ignorant in engines

and since your local why dont you check out the engine
i just hate having long conversations
that will lead to nothing

so you had the block bored over 1MM? and you have 1MM oversized rights? did you put in 1MM oversized pistons. im trying to figure out what was done. cause if you didnt, that engine needs to come apart. what is the ring gap set to?

[Smaay]

bellflower is not that local and there is absolutly NO reason to put an oversized ring in if the piston is the standard size. in fact thats really bad to do because then the ring gap will not be right. I would have to tear apart the engine just to make sure everything is in the right spec. i cant see taht just by looking at it

sure come by my house this weekend and bring your tools
and you measure it but be sure to put it back the way it was

lets cut to the chase

i just dont get it why dont you just build your own engine since you know all this stuff?

i dont have an engine to build and you have a good deal going, i would like to trust just dropping it in but i cant take that chance. ill send you a PM soon, im still very interested

[Fastbird]

he's asking because by what you're saying that engine was built wrong and not worth anything more than spare parts. You do NOT overbore a motor then stick a stock bore piston back in it with larger rings. The larger rings aren't going to seal everything up, and the pistons are going to have severe slap and destroy the cylinders. Smaay is asking VERY important information. If you don't know the exact specs of what you're selling you should find out or you could very easily end up selling the motor to someone and then getting sued for selling junk.
