I'm not aware of any requirement to do anything to the engine, other than bore to suit. But while you're about it, a balance might be worthwhile (but, as I said, not essential AFAIK).

Hi all,

Thanks for the offer for the pistons but I've managed to find Weisco forgies for $900 new from someone... with rings, etc... Never been used..

I've done a lot of research lately and have noticed a bit of a common trend in opinions in regards to Aries pistons.. I've been told that they are a bit louder then other forgies.. I mean, all forgies have the potential to knock when cold but they are a lot better now with the silicon compound... aries don't seem to have as good a reputation from what I've heard...

Anyone else heard similar?

P.S... if you're going to put new pistons in, you'd be stupid not to balance and square deck the block while it's apart..

I'm in the process of getting all of this done at the moment. The block is in as we speak.. Torque plate boring is the way to go.... shot-peening the rods, new rod bolts as well caus they stretch...

My crank is just getting a polish caus it doesn't need machining..

Reason why these pistons you have for sale are no good is because I'm not boring it out that much.. 1mm is 40 thou I think, I'm only going 20 thou.. (.5mm)

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
