how long should a shop normally take for a deck and a hone?

 

it really depends on how busy the shop is. normally that can be done in a day, but any time ive taken stuff into a shop i have to leave it for a week.

 

all depends on the time of the year
tis race season so im lucky i got it back in 2 weeks
my usual guys back logged for months

 

I know its really dependant on their schedule i was jw. I need to have some work done, hopefully it doesnt take too long.

 

get a hone, deck and boil

 

with how much fuel, n2o, and meth your using you are putting to much in the cylinder I would ditch the meth or you may have a repeat failure

 

yeah or step it way down
55gph is retarded imo.

 

plus you run on e85

 

only running 2 10 gph this time i learned that when you let off and it shoots big blue flames you might be using too much meth

got my new pistons
the minimum side clearance is supposed to be .0015
my top rings seem tight all the others are good might have to have total seal lap these
and my pistons i got from jeff are a hair bigger 3.466 instead of 3.465 so its gunna need a hone again

 

damn, never can be easy with the cars lol.
yeah 2 10's should be more than enough.
one of these days our cars will run again hahaha

THE GOODS

 

Huuuuuuuge image

 

Looks fine for me

 

Let me know how the federals do. For that cheap a price if they lasted 5,000 miles I would be ok with them if they hook well.

 

I have a buddy that just tracked on the older RSR and he really liked them. Unless you have them constantly hot they will last a good bit more than 5k.

 

480 shipped to my door how can you say no
just a note they run about 10mm wide so i went a size smaller

 

piston to wall was to tight for my taste been at the machine shop since last weds for a rehone for the new diamond pistons
cant ever be too safe

 

UPDATE
going to pick my motor back up time to get this girl back together

 

The fresh block and my new toy ahp alpha Tig
