you'll find out when it goes pop
it might be time to think of starting on another block deburring all casting edges to help keep cracks from starting and a girdle wouldnt hurt either but it will hurt the wallet by time you buy one and get all the mahine work done you will have alot tied up in it for sure.
as far as the crank and rods you should be ok as long as you stay out of detination
as for the pistons its a 50/50 call cause someone on here said there hotair pistons had the steel ring land reinforcements but my factory 85 turbo pistons do not have them and i have all the documents on my car on all work done on it up till i bought it and the only time the pan came off the motor before i got it was for a real seal change.
you know were im headed with mine now
it should be interesting when i get done with it but it will take me a while to get it together..
i think i have 2 14 bolt 84 blocks here if you might want one let me know and i'll hang on to one and you'll have to bring your hiny down here and get it basically i have about $50 in each of them and it would be nice to get it back out of them one day.
i have to keep working on getting faster so you have a goal
your heading in the right direction it just takes time
later Kev...RED
