You have "all" the bolts removed. And nuts?

LGAFF · 10-21-2008

Are you refering to these: Two 14mm nuts on back of cover in plenum area.

Timing cover is off, here are the internals:

Thanks Jeff......got a feeling I will be saying that all the time over the next few months.

looks cleaner then my "just bolt your heads on and go 368".

If it gets caught with a fingernail, it needs to be honed or replaced. And i would definitely replace the damaged pistons.

Rippie I believe has some factory liners and pistons.

I've got bearings.

Here is the sleeve in question and piston, odd that there is little damage on this one in comparison to some of the others.

The scratch does not "catch" but can be felt.

Also someone noted that with the number of pins in the balancer they thought I would have a mix of "A" and "B" pistons, I checked and all of the pistons are "A"s. Also was wonderng wouldn't honing remove the coating?

Nikasil liners....... if it's scratched,chipped it's a gone. You could have it re-nikasiled. Or I have 16 pistons, rings & liners with the rods. 1 set under 10k, 2nd set has 65k on them. Rod bearings are standard SBC.

o.k., well that's the better side to be on if it has to be, D/S outside. are you able to have it touch honed? maybe 320 or even 400 grit. don't get carried away, just a light rub.
