I just blasted the bad coating off the first piston and reshot it. Gonna let it air dry for a while longer before I cook it. The coating that stuck was a bit tough to get off.
The pistons card stated .0045 P/W clearance. They are pretty loose down the hole tho!
Dropping the rods, pistons and crank to the machinist tomorrow for balancing.
Ordered the gasket set and the 1215 valley pan today. Also ordered the main/rod inserts too.
I just put a 408 into my buddies S10 and finishing it up for the track this weekend. Made enough to buy a new MSD Pro-Billet distributor for the 411"
