Thanks for schoolin' me on the 22R piston measurement. Real happy to find that .75 is in mm and I'm only about .030 over. Late last night Johnny was scraping while we were relaxing and saw the .75 stamp. We were thinking it meant .075 over and a new block was in my future. My budget is tight so this was not good for the truck and me. I don't like not being able to drive my most fuel efficient ride.

Since the pistons are sloppy were gonna drop the lower end and micrometer everything. I'm gonna have to sell my T-bird to keep Big Red and want it to get what it needs to keep rollin' for a long time. Thanks everyone for their help and guidance of my trucks life force.
