LML Internals

[x MadMAX DIESEL]

My camera broke. I would do some measuring for you guys but I dont have measuring "instruments", only a tape measure :roflmao:

 

[JMK777]

Mine is still not here it left NC on the 11th fedx. Did it com with rings?

 

[x MadMAX DIESEL]

nope, but it came with a small dent in the top of it

 

[McRat]

I ordered a set from GMpartsdirect. About $180 for 4 lefts, and 4 rights including shipping.

At that price, they make good ashtrays.

Pull a KillerBee and buy up the countries supply and corner the market! Order 50,000 units locally. :woott: :roflmao: :woott:

That thought crossed our minds here. May be ordering a set of the oversized pistons too. I'll see what I can do to post a piccy poo or two.

 

[jbgmc]

Here are the pics. Don't drool in your keyboards. :rofl:

It's about time we get to see the pictons/ashtrays

Hey hey hey! I just got them in yesterday. You calm down. lol

 

[Fingers]

No Wrist Pin piss holes in the bottom. They look hermaphroditic too.

 

[duratothemax]

it might be the angle of the pics, but is the bowl smaller in diameter? Or does the "lip" overhang more?

Do the LML rods have holes for wrist pin lubrication?

 

[jbgmc]

No wrist pin lubrication holes and the lip does hang over more. As for the size of the hole I'm not sure if it is different or not. (no remarks there!) If anyone wants some different angles let me know and I will see what I can do.

They changed the oil pressures on the lml and lbz some.

Just larger pics next time. Thanks for sharing so far, though.

 

[Akdiesel]

Got mine today...nice ornament

 

[Brayden]

Got a set as well. I like the pins

I had to take these with my phone at work. Not the best way. No problem though!

 

[Trippin]

From the left: LB7......LBZ/LMM........LML

 

[JMK777]

looks like the lml has a smaller oil passage leaving more metal where needed. also looks like there is more metal below the oil ring.

 

[duratothemax]

Interesting! Great picture Guy, and thank-you for posting a high-res version.

Id be willing to build a motor with de-lipped LML pistons and beat the crap out of it...we've got lots of extra blocks and cranks here.

De-lipped LML piston I would think would be ~15.5:1??? Stock is 16.0:1

EDIT: Actually looking at the taper of the rod small end on the LML....will a carillo or LBZ rod even fit in an LML piston...?

Shouldn't be hard to make one fit.
