So o was finishing tearing down the motor and I was taking out the crank bolt so I can pull the harmonic balancer. And this is what the bolt look liked.. it took an impact to get it out.. the crank threads didn't look to messed up hopefully they can get fixed. After that I pulled the cam...

Anyone?

I have been thinking and looking at my piston choices for this build. Based on what 70aarcuda found or knew the kb107's will be .1 higher in the hole than what is currently in (badger b209's) which are .085 in the hole which puts the kb's at .015 above the deck. right? And I will have to use a...

Thanks AARCuda.. that will make a big difference.

Top piston is stock out of a 89 block 318 bottom is what I pulled out of the magnum today. The numbers inside are 8290 or B290. I can't find anything for either. Either way I'm getting the 107's to get my cr up. I'll deglaze the bores and have my new pistons balanced to my crank.. Anyone...

Yeah its a magnum. It has a balanced flex plate with tone ring. Everything on it is magnum except for the pistons apparently. Kb107 with the heads list above should net the ration I want right? I'm going to go ahead and pull a piston to make sure everything else is okay I.e rods, bearings...

See that's what I'm thinking too.. every piston I looked up for the magnum had valve releifs in them and these do not. That is number 3 piston.

The pistons have .030 stamped on top of them.. I have the heads off going to be pilling the pan this weekend.. this motor does not have over 50k on it. And if it does not by much. It got rebuilt and drove for a couple years and then swapped for a diesel. It was in a 95 dodge 2500.. As for...

Say I wanted to replace my pistons with some kieth blacks. What p/n should I get? Also would I be able to just hone the cylinders out a little to get rid of the glaze?

Ok so I checked to see how far down the pistons were in the hole and I came up with .085 that seems way low. I was using feeler gauges and a 6" straight edge. Is there a better way to check this?

No I haven't ordered anything yet. I'm just getting the list of stuff I want to put in the motor. So I have a goal and a budget. Reading the thread makes me want to go check to see how far down in the hole my pistons are. Hopefully they are not to far down in there. I don't know what rebuild...

Well I have decided to get rid if the stock heads and go with the rhs x heads already built by Hughes. So now all I need is a cam. I was thinking about this one...

I guess when I read that they came stock with dished pistons I was thinking more concave not like what you have pictured.. :banghead: That being said I have flat top pistons.. sweet.

I finally got the heads off the 5.9 so I can get them checked before I put a cam and intake on it. Well it turns out it has already been rebuilt and bored .030 over and you can still kinda see hone marks in the piston wall so it's a pretty fresh rebuild,so my questions are: 1- how can I tell...
