And so it begins.... Overual and AEM.... I wanna DRIVE!

have to agree with Levi, 3.5 if your replacing the block might as well gain the displacement and low end torque

I think you found the problem.

The next step finally is coming soon!
New innards heading to the machine shop for prepping.

Big ole' flat-tops!

Will they be available for purchase off the shelf possibly?

[SUTHNR]

That is the goal

[2fnloud]

Do they allow valve clearance?

[green-lantern]

No, they are built to hit the valves

Last I knew valve clearing pistons had not been made. That is why I asked, I knew Ray mentioned something about them, but never seen that any had been designed.

I'm just busting your balls Steve

I do wonder about the 3SX being inscribed on the top might cause a bit of detonation. I’ve been told anyway that any scratches, dents or just crap built up on the piston can cause it. I assume that's not enough to worry about though.

In an NA you would probably have less chance of that being concern. 13:1 pistons have been around on the 3000Gt NA platform for years!
