its broke update

[TCluff]

lost #4 ex valve seat and ruined piston, but didnt hurt cylinder wall, i almost have the engine out now, i will buy stock common rail pistons and have them fly cut and ceramic coated, haisley machine wants to build my cylinder head, with 60 lb springs, i want to run a helix cam, all of the pistons were really clean but heat has taken its toll so i will replace them, will it be worth it to balance and blue print, the engine only has about 65,000 miles on it, i am open for expierienced sugestions, positive or negative, if you know of a better combo let me know!!!

a little off subject, but does anyone make aftermarket pistons for the Common Rails yet?



your buildup sounds great! I will probably run a Helix 2 cam/springs eventually.



any pics of your progress?

i believe that Ross makes a third gen piston. i am not totally sure though

there are several companies making these 3rd gen pistons, also what egt range were you running in? was it from sled pulling or draggin?

i was pretty hard on it when i had a single turbo, countless times over 1600, out of the numbers, and held for quite some time, i knew it was coming but wasnt sure when... :--)
