Well… been along time since last post, 1 new kid, one kid off to college and one more 6 bolt in need of repair. But that’s for another build. Got the rings fitted to the pistons and the mains torqued and plastigaged. .050 with standard main bearings and an OEM crank with a polish. The build is...

Pistons back and ready to go in. Checking ring gap and if anyone can help out I got a few ?’s. I always heard gap is supposed to be on the looser side due to it being boosted, however what is actual ring spec? I show 6 bolt as .0098 to .0177 for top and .0138 to .0197 for ring #2. If you look up...

New pistons came in. You can really tell the old ones needed to go. Trying to stay budget friendly so not OE so hopefully I’m not paying for it in the long run.

Been awhile since last update. Machine shop is drowning in big block projects but shout out to area machine in Denver. Got me a cleaned up block with a new hone. Now on to parts, parts and more parts.

Getting the block checked and cleaned pretty sure this is it’s first re hone along with a crank polish. Any suggestions on budget friendly pistons and rings? I heard always go OE on the oil pump but I heard mixed reviews on aftermarket pistons.
