Richard Holdener to test the Piston Reversal theory

For what it’s worth my junkyard magnum when torn down showed very little measurable bore wear or taper at 91,300 verified miles. Rod bearings showed a little scuffing, main and cam bearings looked brand new. Measured factory ring gap on all 8 top rings and all were 020-024.
Magnums really do well when tearing them down. Many 100k motors still show cross hatching. Must be some hard iron.
