i just found this thread.

So I guess adam didnt tell you it has two pistons in backwards, and he ran it without an EGT gauge the first time out, and it burned 1.5 qts of oil.........................................................???
he told me when he heard i was going to be pulling the heads to install my heads. thats why i started looking at this thread.
he only told you after he knew you for a fact you were going to find out? Thats convenient...
"oh...by the way...I forgot to mention [since you wouldnt have ever found out if you werent planning on pulling the heads]...its nothing big, but I thought you should know..."
who knows how "interestingly" its worn things inside by now. JMO.

well i got the motor today, so i guess i will get the heads off tomorrow evening and see how it looks and go from there.

oil leak is form a bad oil supply banjo seal that i replace. after i got back to ohio form cali. that what then oil down the back of then block is.
if then piston were in back ward it wont turn., if one does manage that you would rip then piston cooling jets off and damage the pistons and block.
now swap L to R banks it will thats what is/was done.
if then .030 wrrist pin was SO important why are the aftermarked pistons dead center???????????????
and ben...
they are probly really sooted form the lack of compression and air.. being guy flat top cut pistons .040 to weigh the same as normal delipped .020 overs
for those that dont know stock protursion is .012-.016 this engine when assembler avg .0055 out of the hole.
i ahve talked with several circle track builders and they have said the same thing...
your coming off pretty condensending ben...
it will look better then your feasco........
had the egt working never saw anything past 1700 even sled pulling... which is quite less then what YOU have done.
theres videos of what i put that engine and tranny through on youtube
and rough calculation with C gaskets puts CR in the 15:1 range with a stock turbo...
what do you mean it will look better than my 'fiasco'? That makes no sense and is totally unrelated.. My fiasco was inadequate parts failure. I didnt mess something up on assembly. Your fiasco was you put two flippin pistons in backwards, and even after people clued you in, you left it that way, plain and simple.
You said initially you didnt have an EGT probe hooked up.
1700* is less than I have done? I have twins.
