scottyMIz Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 well i broke the number 3 piston in the rb20 so for the bargain price of 500 bucks i got a rb25 long block. I finally got it in and runnin here are the pics and a short vid, sorry for the quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) how'd you break the piston? ring land failed? crown melted? I was kinda hoping you went with the 25 from the get-go. i thought the 20 was too small for this truck. EDIT: So what I'm saying is, sorry for the loss, but glad you came out with moar win!

scottyMIz Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 lol its ok raff i wanted the rb25 but i figured the 20 would be neat since i didnt have one yet. I did and still do like the engine but like you said the truck is too heavy. I didn't knwo it was so heavy til i weighed it after the rb20 was in. Im guessing its a ring or ring land since my compression is low on number 3. I have the pistons to fix it just gotta pull it apart and swap the piston and rod, then its going in the 67 roadster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 hopefully a hone can get rid of the low compression on that cylinder with a new nissan piston and some rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
