Default Re: Gramma's Car: the new project!

Just dropped off the engine parts. He agreed the bores looked great...and then laughed and said "But the ridge (and the bore measurement) indicates it's time for bigger pistons." He said to blame Gramma for that: all those two mile trips to the beauty salon with the engine never fully warming up and the choke flushing all that extra gas down in the engine ends up washing the cylinder walls of oil.

So now I have to start shopping for some replacement pistons once he tells me what size we need.

Anyone have a Summit Racing coupon out there???
