QUOTE(Rhodes71/914 @ Nov 20 2004, 01:34 PM) There are currently shims between the top of the cylinder and the head, are these stock. Can I remove these thus making the deck height less. yes, remove them. those are the cylinder head seals you're *not* supposed to run anyways. the shims for changing the deck height actually go between the case and the bottom of your cylinder ...

I think everybody has provided a piece to the puzzle. Now you have to weed thru it and figure out what to do.
Cheapest option would be to get new rings. However you can't just throw new rings in shiny cylinders. The cross hatching is there for a reason, that being to wear in a micronic level to conform to the new rings. Cylinder hones from NAPA are about $27.00 Put it in a drill and be carefull not to be over zealous. Just brake the glaze. If you really want to do it right you need to measure your pistons and measure the cylinders there in a factory spec that I don't retain in memory. A machinist can do this for you and hone the cylinders if they can be done within the wear limit. Then again them new cylinders would fix this but should also be measured. So you see doing this right is not cheap nor easy if you don't have all the micrometers. NOT to mention having tons of opinions from us knuckle heads |

Thanks everyone for all the input.
I am currently proccessing it in my feeble brain and will let you know what comes of it. Leaning towards honing and new rings. After a drive in a 3.0 six today maybe I will start saving my money. And in 10 years maybe I will have enough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
