1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

1. I must apoligize to hotex for making him out to be a bad guy. The motor is not fucked up, *refer to #2* I would however like to receive my other stuff, hes late on shipping, that was expacted, but he did tell me he shipped it when he in fact didnt. -as long as I get my ---- soon, im happy. ;)

refer to this thread

2. I just got off the phone with SRP tech guys. They laughed at me. I described to him my problem and the guy (tony i think his name was) said in a chuckling manner "when looking down on a piston you SHOULD see a ring. When you look at it from the bottom, you SHOULD NOT be able to see the rings. Piston expansion is huge on SRP pistons. Alot of people break ringlands because they dont leave any room for 'piston slap' and heat expansion, therefore breaking the weakest part of the piston"

I said, "I can accually move the piston back and forth in the cyl" his reply "duah (laughing), thats normal, you need that" he said the only way you can really figure out if its ok, to have it measured. (well no ----) but he said everything I described to him sounds 100% normal to him. So I guess, i will replace the bearings and go with it.

I thought this is good info to share. *hince why maybe some people are breaking ring lands. ???

shoot first, ask questions later :)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

thats what i was thinking when i looked at your motor, because i know when my uncle built his motor with forged internals the pistons had play and you could see a little bit of the rings

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

wow i bet that was a big releif. now you have a fully built d series ya!

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

lol, and no, josh is still a douche :D

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

hmm interesting.....never thought of heat expansion

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

semi built ;)



i haven't heard of too many people breaking ringlands on forged pistons, cast is a different story ;)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

lol, it was built till your dumbass ripped it apart. Good job douchebag :P


The HMT lynch mod PWN3D your motor

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

Im glad I pulled it apart, found that bearing ;)
ohh well.

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

Most people are breaking ringlands becuase we run stock pistons. Stealthmode is the only one so far to rape a set of forged pistons ;)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

So I'm guessing the SRP slugs are 2618 forgings (low-silicon).

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

new rings and bearings and shes good as new.

300 hp to your face.
:'( a tear has been brought to my eye

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

did you turn mexican on us?

(isnt that why they put the teardrop under there eye)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

someone needs a E-hug :P

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

good to know the motor ain't shot. :)

good info for the rest of us peoples too, so we don't have to call and get laughed at. :P

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

semi built ;)

when more money comes, the head goes in to be re-worked ;)

then its just missin sleeves. ;)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

why do people continue to by from hotrex? you know what his trck record is. if you know and you do it anyway i don't want to hear about it.

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

you dont know the situation and stay the ---- out of it. ::)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

Ok I'm sorry, but I think you are incredibly stupid...

1. So far, according to you, only one piston has noticable piston to wall clearence. why is that

2. Those bearings shouldn't even be close to showing any wear yet, something else is wrong

3. you bought from hotrex, dumbass :P


8)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

i was under the impression that they were high-silicon and thats why they were weaker. Anyway, i still think that one cylinder has too much play just by the looks of it, the other ones werent like that were they?

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

as said once before, stay the ---- out of it. i could give 2 shits what you think. ::)

and i havet pulled the rest of the motor apart, and if you had read the other threads, you would see that the same thing is in all 4 pistons. ;)

its the way its suspossed to be straight from the horses mouth. (SRP)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

if you waste 800 bucks to sleeve a d series, may god have mercy on your soul :P

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

don't chew me out on this frank, but are you planning to sleeve this block too?

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

---- no im not sleevin it.

forged internals/a big turbo/nice manifold/good FM (cough kevin cough) and a good flowing head will be plenty. ;)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

don't ------- roll your eyes at me. Of course you care what we think, otherwise you wouldn't have a thread like this.

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

(grabs popcorn)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

::)



everyone havin a good day, I am!

2 more hours and I go home!-then im BBQ'n tonite. ;D








fucker.

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

If they were high silicon they wouldnt expand at all and you wouldnt be able to see the rings. Because they are low silicon and forged they expand like crazy and you have to have high clearance. Yes, these are low silicon, to whoever asked that question.

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

High-silicon (4032 alloy) pistons are more brittle. Their thermal coefficient of expansion is lower which allows for tighter clearances. If there's large clearance (enough to wiggle a piston) then they're low-silicon pistons with a higher thermal coefficient of expansion. That would be the 2618 alloy.

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

really>?
i thought they are 9965 alloy?

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

i just grabbed a mountain dew ;D


to you people who are throwing useful info in this, i appreciate it.

to all you others, screw you. the motor is being built the way it sits now. -im just gonna put new bearings in it and go with it.

for some reason im really beleiving what the tech at SRP told me. :P

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

Close. The tear drop actually means that they have killed someone, I do believe. When they are in a gang, that is. ;)

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

And the truth shall set you free!

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

The tear drop meens that youve killed a "wite" man for not shiping your ---- on time ;)

If you turned Mexican you would be working your ass of right about now :P

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

that's not true, your mexican and you sit on your ass all day raffi :-*

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

what is it when they have the three dots on their hand, in the 'web' between the thumb and index finger? ???

I met a cute chick that had that, I knew mexican gangsters that had that, so I interpreted it as trouble and walked away.

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

good thinking. I messed with this one chick who was in a gang and wanted to ---- me. but i declined because i knew she was in a gang and their initiation was beat in or get fucked in. I passed...plus her boyfriend was in the same gang too :-X

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

werd, ---- that ----. Don't need no more gang drama for me, had plenty of that before and I'm done with it. I'd rather be horny than ---- a chick that has actually killed somebody.

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

Im so mexican that my elders have alowed me to enter the next realm.I stay home and watch my son and the wifey goes to work ;).Only "made" beaners like myself can reach that level ;D

Re:1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
 

Raffi, your the ultimate example of how a beaner should be. ;)

You really do make me proud, son. :)
