Arrow Check and double-check - assume nothing...

You guys that are building your own engines - Heads UP!

This is a first but probably won't be the last.

Notice anything wrong with this piston?

Check out the wrist pin being mis-drilled - this engine is in the process of being built for my GT40. It would have had a short life.. SRP did replace the whole set but you have to keep your eyes open.








BTW - the pin holes were all machined too tight as well.. Don't think you can just pull these or any pistons right out of the box, hang them on rods and slap them in the bores..

Well - at least not if you want the engine to last...
