Anybody know of a place they would trust to get pistons swapped around here? Also, any idea of the install cost on something like that? I'm in the dark on this one...

 

pistons are easy to do. i built my whole motor myself and no problems

 

They may be easy but I neither have the time, patience or tools to do such a thing.

 

How long can you have the car down for?

 

I can probably do without the car for a few days if needed... As long as its not more than a week I should be fine.

 

it took me about 2 days n that was all after work (like 5-10/11)

 

No shops around here anybody would recommend?

 

chevy dealership

 

I'd like something a little more cost effective than a dealership

 

Performance shop. I do most of my stuff on my own, but have never done pistons.

 

Yeah, thats what I was trying to get at - what performance shops do you guys have experience with and who seems to be pretty knowledgible?

 

only performance shop i know of is my garage
but seriously ..i dont think many of us have experience with "performance shops" in this area since most of us do the work ourselves...i know of GOOD build shops but they only work on the engine. they wont pull it from the car....maybe some of the guys from further south will know of some
..........mind if i ask why your changing piston? arnt yours forged? didnt blow #4 did ya???

 

The pistons are not forged or else they wouldn't be blowing. The engine doesn't have to be removed from the car, but I get what you're saying.

I'm going turbo here in about a month so I want to get some pistons in there and even though, like I said, I COULD do it I'd rather not.
