Dude dont drive on that block, the "play" you are refering to in the pistons is called "Piston Slap", it will scratch the ---- and will eventually break the crown (sides) of your pistons. I got a z6 block for you, you pay shipping you can have it, I got it pretty stripped down as of right now (i needed the crank out of it for my built d), I can prolly ship it Fedex ground for ~$30, maybe less. Hit me up, my email is joel@mjae.org. Trust me rebuilding you block easy, and unless you want some fuxor3d srp's on your hands, I suggest you switch blocks.

well, after i posted in josh's for sale thread in turbod16.com i got this in response:

[quote="hotrex"]frank stop being a bitch.....i would have nevee sold you the ------- block if i knew it was fed up...

[quote="ScrappyDoo"]
Would you be willing to give him the money back for the block? I didn't read that anywhere and was interested if you would stand behind it.

My reply:

accually....ive been thinking about this:
i would like to have the $$ to buy new bearings and new rings (if they need it) so i can swap everything into another block. (ohhh yeah, i found a z6 block for the cost of shipping, and then the cost of honing it and probably cleaning it up to)

so probably about $150- :wink:

how about it hotrex?

If you swap those pistons into another block your probably going to have the same problem.

Did you actually gauge the pistons or are you just guessing? :-\

3 of the 4 pistons move around like nothing in the cyl.

the ---- is fucked up. either way, i wish he would do something to try to make up for it :-\
