SignUp Now!No way u got "black death" tear that thing apart or it will do it on its own
Well it still looks to be a bit tight and maybe a problem with the rings from the picks provided lotta scoring on the walls thats one of the fastest way s to burn up the pistons so yeah id still tear it apart ?? O wait is that forethought?That's nonsense. Where did you come up with that idea?
The Speed Pro pistons that appear to be in the engine come with coated skirts. The coating will wear off over time depending on use.

The pics are blurry and don't show a lot of scoring from what I see. If the OP decides to tear the engine down that's fine. Prior to that I'd ask he post better photos. Along that same line I'd suggest pulling a couple of rod caps and a main cap to look at the bearings and do a leak down then post the results. Otherwise everyone is just speculating.

Is it safe to say, that pulling the center caps would be enough to give a good idea of bearing condition in a motor that you do not suspect a problem to begin with? Any particular rod(s) to check?
Thanks NealChecking the center main bearings should give you a good indication of their condition. I'd probably check the # 5 and # 6 rod bearings since they are pretty easy to get at with the motor in the car.
