I havn't decided yet, either cobb or crawford piston ones.
I just talked to http://www.ccrengines.com/ and they said that the reason the bearing was chewed up so bad was the fsm has a wrong torque spec for the crank pulley bolt. The fsm says 76lb/ft and they say 125lb/ft.
Anybody else ever heard of this?
Yeah, that problem has been discussed on this board before. A few people had the crank pulley come loose a little bit and chew up the key. But no one's actually taken apart the engine and noticed internal bearing damage because of this.
It makes sense, tho. Without the dampener properly fitted to the crank, there will be excessive force on the crankshaft bearings.
Damn, maybe that's the cause of my failure. I did notice a wierd noise a couple nights after i finished the headgaskets but thought nothing of it because it only lasted a minute or so.

I'm on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.
Maybe try a marine place. They have to do all kinds of engines.

I think Morgie paid like 130 for customs from cp pistons.

135$USD is what i paid for the custom pistons, including pins, locks, rings.
be sure to mesure your worst cylinder before ordering your custom oversized pistons! And verify with your machineshop what oversize they prefer work with. (.20mm, .25mm.. )

At first I was like, whaaaaaa?!! The I realized you were using metric examples for the oversizing.

From the look of that scuffing, I don't think you have a chance of honing that out. It might look OK when you are done, but the eccentricity would be terrible compared to acceptable specs.
