Yeah man but rings are a LOT easier to fit in somenones luggage so... In the end sleeving comes out to about the same money as getting new pistons here. I'm just going to go with the sleeves option as it a lot easier and faster in my situation. Will update with progress. Thank you for the...

Nah the machining isn't free. New pistons aren't cheap either down here with cost of shipping. If I could get away with the sleeves and old pistons that would be perfect.

Another choice is getting the block sleeved and use my old pistons with new rings. 3 pistons are -4/1000". 2 pistons are -5/1000". 2 pistons are -8/1000 and one piston is -10/1000". Tell me what you think about sleeves. Thanks for the replys.

Whatsup bros. I took the block to the machine shop. Person there measured the bores with a micrometer and told me to get 40 over pistons and rings.

I took it apart without measuring compression. Now I know better. Truck was burning through a quart of oil per tank. Smoking heavy thick blue smoke. Would only start with glows even hot. Overheating. Timing chain and gears worn out. Main bearings worn down to copper.

It's been apart since late last year. I oiled the bores and the rust went away. Looked at a couple of blocks and they were worse than mine. All cracked. My block has zero cracks. What if I just put in new bearings and rings with worn out pistons and bores?

There are blocks available. I know of at least 3. One is a complete with serpentine and accesories, DB2, exhaust manifolds and open plenum intake. Owner claims it's from a low miles 92 3500 that got parted out. It's $1000. It even has the engine mounts on it and they are whole as in NO chipped...

I have cast rockers. Bores have no visible crosshatching anymore. Cylinder 3 has marks on the bore surface. Number two piston is all chewed up like someone went at it with an ice pick. The bores are starting to rust out. Is this bad? Anything I can do about it? Would dabbing motor oil with a...

Thanks Will I am a "search" true believer. I hope I don't have to get new pistons. I am waiting on an engine stand possibly by the end of the month or sooner if I get lucky so anything lower end is on hold for a couple weeks.

Hi everyone. I am a true beginner at fixing cars. I am trying to get this truck back on the road. A little history. Symptoms are smokes too much on cold start ups and smokes even harder under heavy load. Thick blue smoke all the time. Have to glow forever every start even hot. No cutouts or...

Hi what's up bros. My name is Juan. My truck is an 83 c10 hack converted by the PO to 4x4. I am in the beginner stages of getting it back on the road. It's current level of progress is annoyingly semi-permanently not moving(unless I push it around) on the front lawn to the dismay of random...
