Well I was going to just remove all the accessories and freshen up the look of the engine bay but after a visual inspection I found some oil leaks that I wanted to address. We got the engine out yesterday and this is what I found. Broken ring and the ring land was cracked. Glad I have an RJC girdle on as even with it the mains have walked a little as evidence by the fretting on the mating face of the main cap. Other wise things look good for a motor that has taken a LOT of abuse! Just a note, I have bee 30lbs with race gas and alky and very little timing before I learned the other way to get power, less boost and more timing... I called Weisco and will have a replacement piston and new rings here tomorrow to get her back together. So new bearings, rings, gaskets and fresh oil pump rebuild. View attachment 194168
