Ross pistons. What's a squish?

 

i need to get around to doing the same thing...congrats on the buildup!

 

Yes, I know what the marks are from.

When using metal headgaskets you will want the smoothest surface possible in order for the headgasket to seal.

While it isn't something I'd go back and change now that the engine is together, but it is something definately worth mentioning if you have any sorts of headgasket sealing issues in the future.

Those markings are more than fine on an old school (iron) engine, but these newer engines with aluminum heads require a very smooth deck/head surface.

Lower RA numbers mean its "smoother." Shoot for RA's of 50 or below for metal headgaskets.

 

Like I said. I just drive. Dan said all the same things you are saying. I guess he thought it would be ok. It looked pretty smooth to me...but what do I know????

 

I put all of the pics in this post on the first page...

Car is hot....you girls are hot....good combo.

just one word of advice...show off those tomei cam gears..get the zaklee clear cover

 

I'm actually getting the valve cover painted pink. It's a girl thing. Sorry.

 

no z06? The cars come a long ways. Congrats.

 

I think someone wants to buy the car when we are done with it. I want a C6, but I don't think we can afford it. I think instead we are going to buy another S14 since I am going to compete in Formula D next year with Dan. We also need a 2 car trailer.

 

Just to let ya'll know. I have been adding all of the pics to the first page. Once everything isin, Dan will post all of the parts used.
