7mgte pistons   2004-05-08 15:15:00 <ronniekumar>
Hi,
I have some stock pistons which have been ceramic coated and telfon
coating on the sides for sale,also have total seal pistons rings.Brother used it to rebuild his engine and used them for only 10 minutes.They are in good condition.Reason why my brother didn't use them in the end is he had to go to the U.S.A for good,PLUS the machine
shop which did machining work on the block deck ruined the surface finish.
Thanks,
Ronnie.

k well after having my engine at the reconditioners we established a
compression ratio of 7.98:1... i'm heading for a compression ratio of 8.2:1
which i think will be ideal so probly somewhere about a 1.5mm head gasket i
think... the only reason i blew my head gasket was the last owners when they
had the work done to the block they skimmed the block but not the pistons so
she ended up being a piston slapper... all over my head gasket lol

while my engine is being rebuilt i'm getting my engine bay ready so it is
actually the same colour as the rest of my car yipee but i have a few things
i wanna run by you all
is there anything i need to be aware of when removing the abs unit?

over by the brake master cylinder there is a speed actuator and another unit
just in front of it with vacuum lines going in.. named.. act & vac.. i'm
assuming these are part of cruise control?
can i safely remove these units and not have anything effected?

I think thats it for now

thanx heaps :)

Suze

They would have had to skim one hell of a lot of material off the block to get
the pistons to protrude enough to cause a problem.
Also, pistons coming above block height, while unusual, does not directly harm
a head gasket in any way, I think you are being VERY rash attributing your
BHG to that cause.

It is a problem if the top ring comes above the top of the block, but they
would have to protrude a LONG way for that to happen - there would be some
nice big marks in the head and ti would never have run if that had happened.

Stuart W.

No "I" am not, i am going on the advice of the engine reconditioner and yes
he was concerned that my pistons came up that high... he said that when cold
they shouldn't really come over a hell of a lot if at all but when the
engine is hot they protrude further... Wayne told me that how far my pistons
came up while the engine was stone cold was worrying but fixable but as i
say i'm not the expert... this is from North Shore Engine Reconditioners on
Hillside Road, i do believe they are quite reputable
but to be honest i cannot put the bhg down to anything else :s
heres an 1800pixel wide pic up of my head gasket and you can zoom in and
have a look and see what you think :)
