Re: Performance Lacking in a 383 Build.
Well.....after several months the motor is back out of the Jimmy.
I have 5 broken pistons (at the skirts), and 4 of them have chunks broken off of the top of them.
I really don't know how the hell it even ran.
Keith Black Hypereutectic Pistons. Top oil ring gapped to .026 thousandths.
I think the original engine builder just totally screwed the pooch! Pistons were noisy as hell from day one! Unfortunately, he's since passed.
Pretty much have to start over after throwing thousands down the drain.
I'll find out next week if I have to bore it more or not, and what the plan of attack will be.
