  3. Anyone in SoCal?

    in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"

    Posted

    I'm in SoCal, but I don't have anything to demo. :/

    now that sucks. hopefully you will have everything the next time i come here(when i move back to cali for good)

    When will that be? I'm currently stuck doing a full engine rebuild so sounds won't be done for quite a while now.

    Around the beginning of 2013. But ill be Here for good to be close to my wife and my 2 kids.

    Good to hear man, nothing better than to be with your loved ones. Where will you be staying when you move out here, in L.A. or I.E?

    I'm in Corona, everything is working but have bad voltage drop problems so it isn't as loud as it should be. And its messy since ive been really busy but I'm down to give a demo

    Still?! Change that alt man! (Btw I saw the Silverado you want again today. :ninja:)

  4. Dull clear after buffing?

    Could have also been the type of compounds, polishes...

    This ALWAYS works for me:

    2000 grit thorough sand

    Wool pad or yellow foam pad with 3M rubbing compound

    Black foam pad with 3M foam pad glaze(aka machine glaze)

    & another black foam pad with 3M Finnesse-it (or 3M perfect it) finishing material.

    ^That ALWAYS works for me. anything else won't shine as good, from my personal experience.(Sorry Meguiars, you f*cking suck!)

    Another thing; don't wax your car for about 3 months after painting, you have to let the clear cure.

  8. Piston marking question ?

    in Engine and Performance - Anything for that couple extra horses!

    Posted

    what did it start out as? it really depends on the block. .060 over is the most i care to see, even then it still comes down to what you want to do with the motor. are you just rebuilding it and fixing something in the piston walls, or are you going to try and fully build the motor? fully built on a motor bored over .060 can get a little explody if you go too far. generally speaking .060 over is ok as long as you are gentle with it

    It's originally 4.36" bore. I'm going to build it up with aftermarket pistons & rods, raise the cr to 10.5:1 with a heads swap, oversized cam(matching the 10.5:1 cr), etc. bottomline, I'm aiming at 500+ hp.

    DAILY DRIVER.

    496 is .060 over with a 4.25 stroke crank. Very popular combo.

    http://www.superchev...ld/viewall.html

    Yes it is, but I'm not making it a stroker engine, I'm going with the stock 3.85" stroke, besides daily will murder my wallet.

    Do you need a the extra .03 bore? Is it that worn again?

    Piston #8 broke & it was a big chunk, so I thought I'd bore it again just in case.

    find out from a good engine builder what block you have because i have seen some rare big blocks that can be bored a 100 over and still be strong

    I know it's a d8te block, 2 bolt main(prefer 4, but gotta work with I got)...I have read about engines being bored .1 over & run strong.

    yes it sounds like your block has been bored all ready , i would ask a good machine shop or 2 or 3 just how far you can go with the block in question just to make sure things don't get too thin .

    There's not many reliable shops around my area, but from the people I've asked that build performance engines & from what I've read, .060 would pretty much be my limit.

    Not too worried about running hot since the cooling system will be upgraded. I'm also scared of pulling a block out from the scrapyard getting a bad block & just waste money.

  9. Piston marking question ?

    Ok, got another question for the engine builders on here: I recently pulled my block apart & noticed that the pistons have .030 stamped on them, correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume the block has already been bored 30 over.? If that's the case, boring it over another .030 will put me at .060 total making it a 472ci big block, would it be worth it in that case, or is .060 kinda pushing it?(ok, make that two questions)

    Gotcha, I moved around 10 years ago so I remember when it was pretty nice. I used to live off of Cole.

    Cole? That's up close to Mockingbird, right? All them biga$$ houses..

    Lol! After that, it's 160.2 or nothing!

    Lol right. I was gonna hit you up the other day man

    After (not hearing) but feeling 160, I don't think anything less will suffice for my bass needs!lol.

    You should've man, phone was disconnected for a lil while, but it's back on now.

    No shit? I used to (kinda) live in woodcrest. Infact, about 10 years ago, I worked at what used to be burger king and grease monkey on van buren. I think they are EZ lube and Gus Jr's now.

    Sorry to get in your guys' conversation & threadjacking, but I live across the street from those places. Shit-hole area. :shrug:

    I really didn't think that area was too bad. There's a lot worse IMO. How long have you lived out there?

    Trust me dude, I came from worse, much worse! Been here about 8 years now, WAS real nice, now there's just a bunch of crackheads, thieves, bums & wankstas. Gettin' ready to move out now.

  17. Bolt Pattern help?

    in Wheels and Tires - The rubber hits the road here!

    Posted · Edited by AUDIOADDICT02

    Can someone help me out here? As most you may know by now, I drive an older ('84) F250 & well, my tires are going bald, but getting 16.5" tires is hard as f*ck, I literally went to 10 tire shops & only one had a 16.5 tire, old as hell for $50. <_<

    So basically, I want to replace the almost extinct 16.5" wheels with newer ford 8 lug wheels, only problem is my bolt pattern is 8x6.5(165mm) & the wheels I can get for cheap are 8x117mm.

    So can I safely put those wheels on my truck? or do they absolutely have to be 8x6.5?

  19. Need help blacking out plastic trim

    sand with like 320, then 800, then wet sand with 2000 then prime, paint, and clear. thats how i did most of my interior and my friend that paints interior pieces and grills and stuff like that for money does it that way too

    Not trying to bash you, but 2000 grit for paint? That's what is used when color-sanding & buffing. Even when just re-clearcoating we sand with 600/800 grit & you can't tell it's been sanded.

  22. My internet is boring. Got any ideas?

    Yeah, I'm subscribed to a bunch of LP'ers on youtube and of course meade and exobigdeal. But aside from adult content, which i think i have seen all of it, i can't find anything decent. It's worse than cable tv and my music library. I have 6000 or so songs and like 400 or so movies and nothing to do. Wish i had some cash so i could do some work on my system.

    Maybe try & sell some stuff on cl?
