What is Wiseco saying to run for piston to wall?

I actually run about .0023-.0025 on the rods and sometimes the mains. You have an iron block, it wont grow like aliminum. Run a better oil pump and now you can run thicker oil in it too to help with abuse. My motors held all this time like this. More room for error. And once you add nitrous, watch out, big time hit on the rod bearings.

What is your final piston to wall clearance, and final bore size?

PCW is
I have a melling high volume pump for the engine..
I also upgraded the wrist pins to a tapper wall. Brian nutter from wiseco said they would be over kill for the hp I'm shooting for, even when/ if I spray it.

gapping rings



Good god, those pistons and rods look nice...


wraped up and wait for more free time....

I dont see how P2WC would be .

I am just asking because of the side coating you have on there and a few other things you might not have been through yet with these motors.

We'll have to see who sticks a piston first. I hope your not running the TTY main bolts. My mains were walking the walk with the TTY's.
