Well Im rebuilding a 360 magnum for one of my customers, and the block Im using for him is my dad old van engine. It has 250K+ miles on it, but I knew it was well taken care of. Anyways, Im cleaning pistons now, and Im getting all the carbon buildup behind the rings off and it sucks. The magnum rings are very thin, and my ring groove cleaner wont work on the top 2 grooves. Im using a broken ring and chisling away. They have been soaking for days, but still comes off like it part of the piston. Anyone know of a chemical that eats the carbon off pistons??



Also are the magnum 360's and the LA 360 balenced the same. I need a flywheel for a 360, and dont have one for a magnum.
