Re: 68 327 Piston and ring question
Update and a question. I think I know the answer.
I have been searching for the maximum I can hone the cylinders before it's too much. Cylinder number 2 had a couple of pretty heft scratches in the bore so I have been honing that one to see how far it goes. So far I am at 4.0035 to 4.0040 and I think I have another 2 or 3 thousands to get that scratch out. I think I will end up at 4.0070 to 4.0090. Is that too much to simply re ring the pistons. All other parts of the pistons are ok. I checked the ring grooves and the skirts etc. But that is all mute if I have to go .30 over and I will get new pistons of course. Can I use the same rods if I do that or do I need to get new rods as well? I gave the college try to save what I had, but it looks like I need to go .30 over. But before I do that, would love your opinions. |
