Re:broken pistons and overheating problems with pics
No, he means don't do any sanding at all and just tune stuff right. (me included) I wouldn't sand anything unless they are used pistons. (if any imperfections)

As far as your timing, there is no way you can have a 0 degree base timing, ---- as soon as you gave the car any power it would fall on its face big time. I think your timing was tooo advanced. Forged pistons just dont break like that. The car had to been beat pretty hard with a agressive timing map. You may not have ever heard pinging, but obviously it did ;) Jeff |

Re:broken pistons and overheating problems with pics
Ive seen a ton of pistons destroyed due to a block gaurd being installed. They scar your sleeves and prevent coolant from getting to the top of the piston.
I dont know if removing the block gaurd is even an option at this point in time. And Ive never heard of sanding the top of your pistons to reduce hotspots. I dont think it had anything to do with timing either.... |
Re:broken pistons and overheating problems with pics
its not sanding
u buff the edges to recuce detonation its what u do to new pistons a honda mechanic i know told me to do it so i did i dont think this is the problem here |
Re:broken pistons and overheating problems with pics
When I first installed my blockguard it didn't overheat either. It took a while. Sneaky little fucker......

Re:broken pistons and overheating problems with pics
To get better coolant with a blockguard some of my friends have drilled out the holes bigger but I think you may need a little more than that.

Re:broken pistons and overheating problems with pics
stealthmode , er i mean , s-diddy, you can see da pistons in my avaater all 4 melted.
what block is this ? d series? get a new one instead of taking out that block guard. |
Re:broken pistons and overheating problems with pics
yep, its a d-series. I'm gonna get another motor. Maybe 2. Just slap a stock a6 in. And possibly build another one on the side. I wonder if a stock a6 will hold together for a while with good tuning and about 240 wheel horsepower. With the shitty luck I have = no.
