yeah my plan is to take the motor out and put new bearings in and new pistons unless i can just re-ring it. Also putting a whipple on it so that would be the best route i think. Hey steve, so did you just re-ring or whole new pistons? also u have the part number for those rings?

it ran fine. i only took it apart because it just seemed really lazy up top plus one of the exhaust manifolds put some water in a cylinder and rusted a valve open which then got nicked when it got started up.
the other one runs fine as well but after seeing the top end of this this one, i assume it looks the same so im going to freshen it as well.
i would be reticent to give you the part number for the rings because i wouldn't want your motor which might be a different gen than mine, have a different ring pack. just call the guys at total seal and talk to them. they show the ring pack i'm using on their web site and i really believe they are the same but i wouldn't want to be the guy to steer you wrong. talk to the guys that make the stuff. for the record, i have used total seals in about a trillion motors and was very very happy with them.
