Engine shop call this morning and I stopped by on the way to work. No re boring..... I was sent the wrong piston rings for the Probe Pistons. They require a narrower ring.
Called the shop that had these pistons and they are checking to see if they have rings for these. Way things are going guessing they will not. Looking good Rick. |

Sorry work was a ..... This week, everyone trying to get their projects in before year end.
Did not intentionally get Probe pistons, but yes that's what I have. Was looking for a forged piston (not many out there anymore) and found these. Probe no longer makes these. I was right, he does not have the rings. However he is getting a set. May need to be made if they are nolonger available. Wow, Rick the front looks great!!!!

These fronts are going to be a bitch to fit. As I suspected the tires are really....Really close at full lock. I'll be massaging them all day.

Yep, Very mild here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Here's a sample of the work for this weekend. I haven't decided if I am going to raise the wheel opening yet. At full lock the tire is very close to the lip.
I had to reshape the front of the flares. Here's my slapper and shot bag in action.   Here's the flare butt tacked to the slope nose. Notice how much I had to lower the flare to line up the top surface.  |

The flares were too close to the tires so I raised the lips.
     I made up a clamp with angle iron on both sides to hold the flare while hammering the new lip. This allowed me to give the flare a crisp lip with minimal distortion.      |
