What about the pistons?? Did you just hone out the cylinder walls?? I couldn't find over size pistons to save my life. Thats why I looked over seas...When my truck started with a lower end rod knock. It made the pistons slap a bit side to side,thats whi I needed over side pistons. Also wiped out the crank shaft AND the small bearing pieces traveled throught out the motor made me put in new vale tappets and needing a cam shaft being reground....I was too far into the motor to just walk away...putting almost $4000.00 into a vehical machine shop work,parts and labor. But man did it run well.....I had 222-75 15's on it....In the summer time I would get just over 450 miles on a tank.....Well many be in the future <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
