Well, i called ROSS today, and according to their shipping records, my pistons shipped onthe 11th and should arrive today. WOOOOOT! Now i just have to wait for rods to come back from shot peening and then its all going to be balenced.

 

[BlueGT]

Great news, man!! I was waiting for that UPS guy by your house and then gave up.

 

[Elantra2.001]

Yeah well aparently he did too, cause i have to sign in person, so he left a freindly sticky note on the door. I changed the address to have it sent to my work address tomorrow.

 

[OdessitPashka]

so is that your last thing that you are need?

 

[Elantra2.001]

Nope, couple more.

 

[OdessitPashka]

what else do you need? and are those pistons forged?

 

[Elantra2.001]

Yeah forged custom race pistons from Ross.

 

[OdessitPashka]

how much did you end up paying for them and what compression will you be gettin from them?

 

[Elantra2.001]

I hade them made for 8.5 to 1. I got them in today. Im tired right now so no pics, but ill get them for you guys tomorrow. All 4 are with in one gram of each other. All the specs are included with the pistons. I also purchased rings and pins from Ross.

 

[OdessitPashka]

how much did you end up paying for pistons and rings?

 

[Elantra2.001]

The prices can be found be calling Ross directly depending on what options you add, but expect around 600 bucks.

 

[OdessitPashka]

will you have to hone your cylinders?

 

[Mahonroy]

So what steps are required to putting in new pistons? Is it you just take your engine apart, replace the pistons, and then drive your car easy so the pistons get re-broken in? Or are there more complicated things you have to do to get the pistons in?

 

[OdessitPashka]

well usually you hone your cylinders or overbore them...

 

[tharptroy]

definetely want to have the block honed before you install them

 

[SPIKE]

Yeah a good honing will help

 

[carbonman]

hmm didn't know HONING would increase the SIZE of the cylinders *sarc*

 

[SPIKE]

Yeah a good honing will help

HAHAH, I know what honing does :tongue: I was always told when new pistons are placed in an engine to hone it

 

[Elantra2.001]

The block i have was honed, trued and milled slightly to make it flat and then a 60 degree cross hatch was put in the walls. Im also having it all balenced.

How is your turbo project comming along? Just curious when you think you will be finished with it.
