sorry it took me so long guys......work sucks, but the smoke is faint and white. Also its may not be the rings I just replaced them and the mains and rod bearings. I asked because I do have a ticking also.....So whatcha think?

hey fellas would bad lifters cause some smoking at about 3 to 4k?

well IMO two totally different types of racing are going to need two totally different types of cooling. In a drag setup with higher horsepower it would be best to keep the stocker, and add an single push fan in the front for better cooling at low speeds (especially if you have a larger radiator 4 c...

well I guess now I'm confused does switching to a efan not reduce your rotating mass?

this is going to sound odd but get a fan off a junk ford taurus and use it. It works better than any flexalite that I have ever used (including the duals) and its cheaper......

Who makes those?^

I've got a second set that I've already started on........

But I was curious as to how much lifter noise it will create..

I'll check my FSM and get back to you........

People think SOHC, head work should be my first stop :roll: Bah! a stock head, stock valves, stock cams, stock intake manifold, etc. seem to have no problems finding the limits of the stock pistons... pistons turn into a much better first power adder than head work :P I know pistons don't ADD HP, b...

thats old he's back now..........suffice it to say it was some drama that is taken care of now........don't worry you'll get your mani, he's a good guy....

^It probably came on the car, I had one on my 240 when I bought it. really? damn I got screwed......don't want to sell it do ya? :wink: Sorry, I cant part with it. I guess like you I like the looks of it. The best I can do is keep an eye out for one at the junkyard for ya. that will work.....thanks...

get a saab .48 trim well rounded I would think.....

what happened to your other car?

i bought another 240 to rebuild for turbo. im lookin for close to 300 daily. so is it necessary to regind the cranshaft. i just dont want to get the wrong bearings depends on the damage to the bottom end......a small regrind will take out any surface imperfections.....like Jordan said.......so what...

erndog wrote:yea im gonna get the main bearings too. so then boring out the imperections would be better just to be on the safe side?

Well hell yes it would ........I just didn't know what budget you were on or what your plans were.....Why are you rebuilding????

are you getting mains also?

is this your first rebuild? has the motor been bored? just get the standard if you haven't had any machining done...

Thanks man.....^.....

...............

shameless buuummp..

Got another question guys......can I use a resistor box off a rx for the 460's?

oh......I was under the impression that he was going to run a small amount of boost (5-7psi). Which lead me to think that the DOHC KA pistons would be slightly more reliable than the SOHC KA pistons with weak ring landings.....

$100.00

could he just use stock dohc pistons?

^ ummm I thought you said they were the same price........So how am I "cheaping out"?

well I guess that settles that.........thanks alot man......

alright thanks man....

so what did you find out?
