Engine: .

Took the RB I was running out of the gold 240
This is what happens when timing is advanced too much, you get detonation....not good. All six pistons were all worn out, some lost diameter and hit the cylinder walls.
major piston flop, sounded like a knocking con rod when this happened, all six con rods were tight when I took it appart....
So block needed oversize and cylinder head is also worn out the same as the pistons are. The crankshaft is in excellent shape, I will reuse this one since the spare I bought had a turned con rod bearing on it.
The spare engine. The head and block are mint, no mileage at all. Six good pistons also, yeasssss. Took the bad rod and replaced it with a good rod out of my old engine.
The spare pistons, need a good cleaning
Got the Crank polished from the old RB. 2 3/4 inches stroke ain't much, loll
cleaned out the block and painted it, cylinder walls look new
Going with Nissan OEM piston rings, so far they hold plenty of power.
ARP main cap bolts,con rod bolts and ARP head bolts
ARPs in place ready for rebuild
Head is cleaned, checked for cracks, warp free, guides are good, ready to put back together with new seals and slap it back on the block
