| 390 Pistons, HELP! |
| By Nash - 10/06/2003 5:49:04 PM; IP 4.4.64.34 |
Took my Block and Crank into the machine shop today. Everything looked great. The crank was showing some wear, and has to be polished, maybe grounded. I'll know later this evening after the miking.
Ok, so he's waiting on the pistons. Im going to complete my first order tonight for:
Camshaft bearings, Pistons, and Freezeplugs. Maybe the Chrome/Moly Rings from speedpro also. Thats it for now.
Ok, now here's my question. Im getting .030 over pistons, and They are from Sterling. Hyperteuawhatever.
Heres the descripton:
Ford: 390, .030 in. oversize, 4.080 in. bore, 3.780 in. stroke, .080 in. dish with 4-valve reliefs, hypereutectic piston
(My heads are C5AE-U)
Theres another set as follows: (Cast)
Ford/Lincoln/Mercury: 390, truck only, .030 in. oversize, 4.080 in. bore, 3.780 in. stroke, 6.480 in. rod length, .097 in. dish, cast piston
NOtice how the second one uses ''Truck only''. My engine is from a low compression 70's truck. I dont want #2, because its cast, and the compression is way to low.
The question, I can still use #1 pistonscorrect? and will that put me at 10.1 compression?
Thanks!
Replay ASAP! |
