i bought a 1992 mustang about a month ago and decides to put some heads cam and intake and was going to replace the main bearings but now that i have the scratch i might be getting the block bored .030 over. i trying honing it a little to get rid some of it but im not sure
about it. i think it was like this when i took the piston out because i dont remember hitting cylinder wall with anything

You definitely didn't do that pulling a piston out. That's way too deep looking.

It's hard to say from a picture, but I doubt you can ball hone that. I'd run that bitch, if it were mine.

 

[chris01]

The rings were intact when I pulled it..I was thinking about running it but I don't want it to burn a lot of oil. Meaning I don't want blue smoke coming from the exhaust.. My plan was to get some Afr 165 or tf 170 with a tf intake and other goodies.. I was worry about my compression also

 

[69fastback]

Next time, check the compression BEFORE you tear it down

hit it with a hone tool and see what it looks like afterword.


but I would agree, its hard to say if it will just burn oil like mad, and have horrible compression, or be alright.

I got $550 total invested in my rebuilt bottom end, and that includes all the gaskets I needed, the block/bottom end itself, etc.

shows just under 55psi oil pressure at a cold idle, and around 45psi oil pressure when up to temperature. no smoking or nothing.

i tried to hone it but didn't do much. I might hit up the junk yard tomorrow to see what they got and i learned my lesson about doing a compression test before i take it apart

302army u have some nice videos.. from the sound of the giggle it looks like u love ur trickflow heads

haha, thanks man, keep watching my stuff. I make a little money from my videos, so the support is appreciated!

Try to hone it, But you dont wanna hurt yourself in the future, with any oil problems.

 

[chris01]

I did try and home it but I'm going to try a little more if not I'll get a good junk yard block or just get this one bored and get new pistons... I Would rather do it the right way because I plan in putting a super charger on it down the road

 

[302Army187]

well right way to have it bored over .030, probe forged pistons, and all the ARP goodies in the bottom end.

not cheap, but the motor will hold up quite a while.

Fast and fun toys don't come cheap in most cases

The old saying "fast, cheap, reliable. Choose two" is no joke.
