    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Commonly available pump gas won't do for 11.5 compression on one of these old style 2 valve combustion chambers. If it's not too late I'd send those pistons back and get the ones you wanted.

BTW, looks like a fun project. Keep the photos coming.:)
 
they were custom made pistons. so no going back. I asked for 10.5 tho. I dont know were i got the 11.5 from but ill ask Paul when it gos over there to check it.

compression hight of 1.010. the head was only resurfaced and i am using a nos metal head gasket. if anyone knows what compression ill get. one thing i noticed is it seize gs1000 so do i have a 1.010 compression hight with a 1000 stroke crank or a 1100. another reason not to do the motor myself
