Yeah Rex is working on it.

Ok I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

 

Got a call from Rex today....has the motor all apart now. He's going to try and put a hone in that cylinder in the morning, so I should know tomorrow whether or not it will be an easy fix or if I'll have to do a new block or new pistons .040 over.

 

Chris,
I hope all you need is a hone in that cylinder, but some of those scrapes looked deep.
Good luck.

 

im glad your my neighbor chris , its a good way for me to know what not to do , LMAO

sucks we arent gonna get do some head to head racing with whats left of the cool air at night

by the time the weather is back to being cool , ill have the twins going , guess i gotta get a carb intake like yours so i can beat ya

 

Yeah we'll have to wait a little while I guess. It's ok though, I think I'll stand a decent chance against you, even with the twins. I'm guessing that traction will not be your friend.

 

haha, sounds like theres gonna be a nice neighbor rivalry going. Glad to hear they have ur motor finally apart Chris. Hope he brings home good news. But unless u guys wanna race at about 3am I think u will be SOL on the cool air haha

 

Got word from Rex a bit ago. Cylinders cleaned up fine up top, but not in the bottom. Looks like we're going to go another .010 over and do a set of 4.040 pistons. Now I'll have a 410 and be different than all you 408 guys He said like this there's a chance that the motor might consume oil, and I don't want to risk it.

 

Sorry to here that. I guess you will have little more hp and tq to get you closer to the lower 11s or high 10s. Now can tell everybody you have a 410 engein and they say what.

 

I was really hoping the block would clean with A lite hone but no such luck. Sorry you have to go through this. I'll get the pistons ordered ASAP Mr. Minute Man LOL.
I need A mountain dew! Rex......

 

chris does that mean custom pistons now? very sorry to hear your bad luck, i hope it all gets worked out.
