Cant hear the noise but do leak down test what color is the smoke ?

I have used 303 aerospace figured it would dry out with nothing on it and keep it out of the sun

below 164?rebuild umm rings usually last a long time. 10% within one another ...

A leak down test will tell a lot more . I think you could probably get one at HB. on a stock engine rings should be good for many miles. My turbo car had numbers in the 120s. one cylinder with a broken ring was down to 100 . I would be checking other things before tearing into the engine esp. if it is your daily

TURBO, if you are going to do all the work ... I think you will be much happier (I have a carbed car and turbo one) Just play it safe .

New zed is right. I ran with those numbers for a while. As long is it not smoking or fouling plugs your fine. I even got close to that with a broken ring and ringland but smoking like a freight train, Leak down test showed it was #5 . Most all engines should fall in the 10-15% of one another

for the doors I used kia sorento and no adhesive works 100% better than black dragons with adhesive

mine does the same I put a oil pressure gauge on it from harber F . said 5-7 at idle when guage said 0 . as long as it comes up when driving (I think )

well said >>>

1. I know its a long shot 2. not sure if it will work but I broke 1 ross turbo piston on cylinder 5 3. Damn-it but it was my own fault if anyone knows where one might be ....

I have a n42 $125 plus ship . I may have turbo one but i will have to look

look for a 1982-84? 720 in the junk yard front diff

message sent give me a call when you can thanks

p79 with flat tops , n47 n42 with dished. flat tops with the n42 is always debatable some people say its great but you have dial back timing . I have a n47 that was just rebuilt with a couple thousand miles on if interested . but if you have p79 already ...

+1 on redline with modifier

man you are so far away ... I have the same set up sitting in my garage but the its has bad rings and needs a rebuild ... still I maybe interested if no one picks it up lmk . it maybe a few weeks before l would be ready with $

I use 420 cc bosch low impedance injectors. I think the the guy from the injector cleaner place told me they were from a Porsche or that style.

I have one its gold never used. Iwas told it was a pallnet . Barbed 100$ shipped can send pic

Has your ecu been remapped by JWT ? I am running the same set up but the PO installed it. It always is on the rich side. Make sure your MAF is away from the turbo. I assume you have been to there web site. If you are nice and have specific questions they are very helpful but you must be specific.

Ya that sounds great . As long as your not in a hurry it would be about a month before I could get down there . I am sending you a message . Thanks

Head has been checked and I was running it till the engine in my car started burning oil . Leak down 30-40% on cylinder 5 so I need a bottom end rebuild. My bottom has ross racing pistons so I would like to reuse . I have a good head need a good bottom. How much for yours? and/or any recommendations for a good shop in atlanta for the bottom end build. I use to have John William build my engine. Thanks I am 4 hours away but get down there on occasion

Ok f54 block has been rebuilt . took the head off do to blown head gasket . I never saw this engine run. Cylinder walls have no cross hatching and has some vertical scratches . One i can catch with a fingernail. I am assuming that I cant run this engine and it will need a rebore or at least hone. Am I right ? I was told it ran fine before and did not smoke. I would really like to be on the road without spending 800-1000$ PO tried to run 22lbs of boost went well before this Thanks

I wish I could help a little more but I just bought a 73' with a 5.0 and AOD (I believe) . It fits I don't think the trans tunnel was modified mounts were custom. Wish I had the 5 speed

I have a EFR 7064 on my L28. I really like it. Wish I could go a little smaller on the exhaust side but all in all a great turbo. Snug fit but it works. Spools quick but I cant wait to install ported header and refreshed head. I don't have much to compare it to I had a Garrett with a 1.06 exhaust previously.

Z ya is right sounds like a turbo block with n42 head. I ran up to 17lbs with a 2mm HG with that set up. Remapped ECU from a 300 zx. and intercooler
