Hey Guys,
I am in the process of a complete rebuild on my 6.0. I suppose its my own fault for running 38lbs on stock head bolts and hot lapping it at the track. My heads were straight but I basically melted everything under the hood. I just finished rebuiilding the tope end and am about 7K deep into the project but have built it with arp headstuds and new harnesses. When I got it back it wasn't getting oil pressure and after some further invectigation we found pieces of the piston in the oil pan. I am now going to have to rebuild the lower end. Nem cam, pistons, rings and bearings, and possibly bore it out to a 6.4. Anyone have ideas for a good set of pistons? ANy experience with boring these things out? I am trying to figure out if I should rebuild or just get a junkyard engine and start over? cheapest option, comments are appreciated. Thanks.:woohoo:
