the shop honing my ~10k mile old 96mm cylinders is telling me the brand new pistons are going to be loose in the cylinders! WTF, the original KB set of p/c's is what was in the original engine. I've been planning re-honing the cylinders and using a new set of KB pisons w/new rings...
WHY does God hate me? Is boring out 93mm or 94mm pistons & maatching them up to the pistons the only way to go? HELP!!! |

That is what I was afraid of... This is only for a street car. Jake thought the old cylinders should be OK but just need rehoned. Then again he's also said the cylinders that come w/the KB p/c set were not very good to begin with.
McMark - I may take you up on the offer. I'll take a look at the set when I pick it up tomorrow. The shop has been around for 20+yrs and I tend to trust their judgement (KOS Motorcars in Lyndhurst, NJ). I'm PISSED b/c after a 2 week delay I thought this w'end I'd be able to get the damn engine together & the car back on the road. |
