So I think tonight I'm going to try this just for shits cause it will cost like $2. Nothing to loose really, mostly trying it for curiosity. :)

Long time no update. I tried that oil trick in the motor, it dropped about 1/8" in each of the cylinders over a 24hr period. Regardless, I'm going to tear it down and do a stock rebuild.

Piston rings ordered, Chris Carey is supposed to be getting back to me on main and rod bearings here shortly. Still not sure what I will end up going with. Lots of people say the ACL Aluglides work just fine. Then tear down should begin tomorrow. I'm thinking of honing it myself, getting some paint stripper and painting it myself, but bringing it in somewhere to get hot tanked between honing and painting.

ANYWAYS,


What damn bearings do I buy now? ACL Race? regular ACL's? King? Clevite?

I've always heard good things about the ACL Race, but do I really need them for a stock rebuild? It will see a good bit of abuse eventually, but stock motors handle that just fine too.

What's the price difference? If its a few bucks even if its not get the race ones hands down. There proven to work in our motors.
