  1. Fairly new to S30 life, so my apologies for any gaps in my knowledge; I've been lurking for awhile now to get up to speed. Recently picked up some 87mm ITM pistons for a rebuild for my '74 260. F54 block, N47 head (assuming the machine shop blesses it), with the right HG I will be targeting about 9.5:1 compression. Nothing too crazy, keeping it N/A and making some small tweaks for efficiency and fun, not going to break 200 hp. It's going to be a weekend and occasional road trip car - goals are a reliable, fun street build that MIGHT occasionally see a track day (but I wouldn't count on it). I've seen a host of older posts about ITM rings not being great, and Total Seal was recommended. The thing is, both Total Seal and ITM (based on the limited info I've been able to track down) seem to have iron rings. The ITM rings have some shiny coating (chromoly?) on the (outer) faces. So, since all of the posts I've found about ITM rings being 'not great' and suggestions to get Total Seal instead are in the 10+ year old category, I'm wondering if anyone has any recent experience or can make recommendations either between these two, or for a third option for good reliable rings.
  2. Hello! Does anyone have a recommendation for a good welder/shop that can replace my floorpans? I've called a few, and I seem to be running into a lot of "we're booked for at least a year out" and "we don't do that level of work anymore" responses. I'm hesitant to go to just any shop that says "yeah, bring it by, we can do it" without any sort of visibility into what they've done in the past - don't want my new (to me) car to be ruined because someone was afraid to say they didn't know how to do it the right way. I'm in the north bay, but I can tow to east or south bay as needed; finding a good shop is more important than finding a cheap or close one. Thanks in advance!
