What kinda internals are you running? Crank,rods,pistons,etc.
What do you guys think of Mahle pistons and compstar rods? Just wondering.... I see guys having issues with oil consumption with strokers, whats the cause of this?

 

nice truck bro

 

running eagle crank and rods with mahle pistons. Engine assembly has alot to do with consumption but besides that i'll let someone else chime in.

 

Eagle h-beams, eagle crank, wiseco pistons. I haven't had any oil consumption problems.

 

callies crank and rods, diamond pistons. Yeah I think oil consumption has a lot to do with how its built.

 

Without a Doubt it has alot to do with it... LS based engines use very tight compared to the old school 350s .. And the Ring Stock on the piston and pin height have alot to do with oil consumption ..

 

Thanks man.


So who has built there own engine? For those that have not done them who are you using to do so?

 

I know there are allot of good builders on the site but they are all West coast guys for the most part.

 

I had the machine shop i used put the shortblock together for me. They only charged me $125 and was worth it to me to know it was done right.

 

So with the exception of your starting issue all is ok then?
