Piston and con rod dilemma
Not to sure what i should do about the pistons and rods in my .60 over 340. I currently have a set of l2316 forged trw's and stock bushed rods, i just found out the top ring lands in all the pistons are wore out and you can stick a 8 thou feeler in between the ring and piston :-x For fun i weighed the piston and rod combo and it was 1844 grams! :-s Wow crazy!
Think i should go to a set of KB hyper pistons and eagle or scat rods or hyper pistons and rework my old rods? I figure that its going to be 150 to resize the rods and 50 bucks or so for the arp hardware, scats are less than 100 dollars more and the hyper and scat rod combo would be only 1230 grams. The motor is going to be a 555 lift solid roller and plan to spin it to 7-7500 rpm's... Any input? Should i consider other pistons or rods? Im trying to keep this on the cheap and going to also have to pay around 300 for balancing the assembly. Ugh, this motor is a nightmare.
