Well, You guys might be right..
The top of the #7 piston broke just above the top piston ring.. ANd the cylinder lining broke letting antifreez into the cylinder and hydrolocking the engine.. engine was not lean but infact looked like the jetting was about dead on.. (plugs were tan to dark tan)... I also have about 3 valves that had bad oil seals. (explains the oil loss i was getting) Im really surprised it was the piston that broke and not the rods or crank.. (i guess ill keep them for another motor)
Atleast the heads are still good, All i need is to build my spare motor..
What do you guys recommend for compression... 8-1 or 9-1 compression??Project JUST-N-SANE
84' Camaro Z-28, 355CID,9.0-1 compression, ATI procharger 9psi (over 650HP),T56 6 speed, 3.73 Motive gears! 11.70 at 122mph in the 1/4 while babying the throttle to keep the tires hooked ,with pump gas! (NOW INTERCOOLED)
