Re: Profilometer Info Needed

There are only a few models that with do the Rk, Rpk and Rvk values, make sure you get one that has this feature. If you buy one and cant get it setup I can help you out with that.

Re: How much to flow heads

I get $100 to do one intake and 1 exhaust, that includes Air speed if the customer wants it and a print out of the test. I change a little more if they want CSA measured at the 3 normal spots.

Re: Relocating Crank Thrust

I am getting tooled up to do this on a LS based engine, but I have not machined one yet. A picture of the engine and crank would probably help so we can see what you are working with.

Wanted

I am looking for a set of New, or like new Speed Pro L2242NF pistons in .040 over, would consider .060 over. I know I can get new ones, just taking a stab that someone may have a set on the shelf they may never use and want to get rid of. Thanks, Keith

Re: KB Claimer pistons

No they are not that bad. I used these pistons since they came out. I never had one break where something out side did not break them. Incorrect ring gap, detonation etc. I had half dozen customers spray them with a 200 shot, not one broken piston.

Re: Heavy Metal Installation

Are you installing it radially? or through the counter weight? When I install radially I like .0015 to .0020 press.


If I go though the counterweight I am ok at .0010. but I always weld mine also.

Re: Wanted, BBC 454 block

Where are you located?

I have a nice Gen 5 block that I standard bore and I believe it will clean at .0020 over, but I would need to bore gage it to make sure.


It does need a line hone.
