Engine tore down and at the machine shop.
This time I decide to change my machinist and go with someone new. I've been going to Jay for years but since I moved and this new shop is closer, I chose to go to Bill. Plus Bill runs a drag car at the track and everyone says he knows his s-h-i-t. And he does.
First thing he said when I brought my block and parts in was that I need new pistons. ??? He said they have to much side wear on them. I thought they looked ok but I could see what he was talking about. That's a $600 cut in my rebuild project. Arias Pistons are not cheap.
Head rebuilt, block cylinders honed out, new King Main and Rod bearings, Total Seal gapless rings, MLS head gasket, gasket set and new pistons will probably run me over $1500. I guess that's not bad compared to the initial investment of $600 for the motor and three seasons on it. Which came with Arias pistons, Eagle Rods and Crower Cams. That alone is well over $1500.
My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy.
