Thread: Help me build my engine

The new pistons are .030 over so I will send my block off the the shop for a hone. I might have them balance it too..

I am the 4th owner of them but only the second car they have been in. the first car had the almost identical set up as me and the JP timing chain snapped and valves met piston.

Two pistons have small dents in them but nothing to get me too worried.

Umm any dent in a piston is bad. your valve train was off. In the picture you showed notice that there is no dents other than a chunk missing. That is how all 6 pistons should be. The piston that has the dent check the valves make sure they are not bent.
