I went out to the shop this morning and began measuring, found the bores were perfect 4.5, then I measured the pistons, middle of the skirt, they were .009 smaller. After the shop warmed up some, the pistons were only .006 smaller. For forged pistons, seems ok but are way looser than any Hyper's that I have worked with in the past. Tim

Tim, that's a forged piston not a hypereutectic.

Got a Mopar performance steel ring balancer, my machinist has had 2 fluid ones fail, the silicone solidified. Now I am trying to get rockers and a cam figured out. Tim

Well I ordered the cam today, got in the mopar performance water pump, Oil cap and PVC cap, windage tray, rockers are on the way, stock rockers with Dvorak stands, low miles used. Machine shop got the block cleaned up and the K1 crank and rods clear great! The fuel pump is not fitting so far. I am down to roller lifters, pushrods, manifold and carbs, and distributor!

Well my engine is still not running, but its 95% assembled. I had to use the milodon road race pan with the external pickup. The last part I need to buy for the engine is the external oil line. I am having http://www.woolfaircraft.com/ build the line. After an hour of bending 3/8" line, I got a good pattern to have it made from 3/4" 304 stainless tubing. I will keep you posted on the progress. Tim

Are you using the main studs and bolts that came with that world block??? Before you build it, there is a thread on here about those studs/nuts you should read. I would get a set from ARP just to be safe.

That would be this thread.

My World Hemi block is at the engine builder right now. Dan Smith, Qwkmopardan on here.

It had the no name studs in it, I'll never understand why they installed no name studs but used ARP nuts.
The studs were replaced before the line bore was checked.
It was a little tight and had to be opened up, or so I was told.

Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

You obviously didn't read the thread(s) about the subject, they are what one would call BUTTER bolts ....

They stretched too much and some failed before reaching torque spec if I remember right .

nope never did,some of these threads just ends up being with not alot of value,instead of being productive.

ok butterbolts sounds real bad,cant realy see why world would ship them out like that
