Nice, yours?

GrndNatnl · 10-30-2009, 02:37 PM

Woah.. what happened there Paul?

pacecarta · 10-30-2009, 02:39 PM

the little stock piston finally gave up

no signs of anything else

btw heres the slip

1.480
4.284
6.672@102.42
8.761
10.566 @123.75

it had just gone 103.5 and 128 (10.53).. 60 ft wasnt great

GrndNatnl · 10-30-2009, 02:43 PM

Ouch, thats a nasty crack. Looks like daylight through there. Hopefully everything else is alright.

pacecarta · 10-30-2009, 02:45 PM

everything else looks good , bearings needed a refreshening anyway . ive got a box of stock pistons just undecided yet if i should bother slapping another in there or go another route

Black-TTA · 10-30-2009, 03:07 PM

Meh, a little JB Weld will fix her right up....

What did the head gasket look like Paul, was it salvageable lol?

pacecarta · 10-30-2009, 03:27 PM

the cometic 060 gaskets didnt leak . they are good for another goround .. the oil was mostly on passenger side but the piston that failed was #3 driverside

i could slap a piston in and she'd be good to go but then i have the 87 with 030 forged pistons and steel maincaps so i might yank that motor transfer heads cam from 86 to it and reassemble this block with another stock piston and drop it in the firebird , id put the almost stock motor i just built and dropped into the 86 into the 87

ouch...just proves there is a limit to everything...what caused it...age

pacecarta · 10-30-2009, 09:52 PM

Paul

Just out of curiosity, will you do any prep work on the cometics before you reuse them?
