why seperate the pistons from the block after you had the bores, bored and honed to suit the pistons? sorry but an unmachined block is better than one bored out to suit pistons that dont come with the block.

I had to get new rings made for the pistons anyway so the block was bored and honed to suit 87mm pistons and rings - this is what i was told would be done by the machinist so i would think they knew what they were doing when machining block for a rebuild.

sure i'm no expert but are you?

if you have questions you're welcome to enquire and i can refer you to my mechanic who has built many hypo RB26's and was in charge of the whole process. Even if it had to be re-honed thats only like $80/cylinder which i would negotiate on the already ridiculously low price

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
