    The title pretty much says it all. I have a newer build and recently pulled the timing cover and everything that goes along with that (balancer).

    Can someone give me advice on pistons?

    My block, heads, crank, and rods are all at the machine shop. The machinist needs pistons soon and he recommends forged probe pistons over forged Kieth black pistons. So I'm looking at 70 over probe pistons and here are some of the option differences that I don't know about: Compression...

    please help me with a heads question

    I have X heads on my 360 motor and I'm guessing that it is running bad all of the sudden because a washer from my carb linkage is missing and I think it may have slipped down the EGR port in the head. I found the cotter pin right next to the EGR "hole", so I believe that the washer slipped down...
