Cylinder 3 misfire
#51
I actually bought 10.5s. Can you point me to the articles on the injectors?

Im still waiting for my pistons to come in. I bought a bore measuring tool and confirmed the bores are in good shape. A couple of questions while I'm waiting if you don't mind...
- I'm going to hone the cylinders. Should I do anything to protect the oil squirters? I was thinking about putting a piece of tape on the three honing blocks that represent the depth prior to going too deep.
- How do I remove the pins that connect the piston/rod? Are they press fit? Do I just use a socket to push them out?
- Do you heat the rod before pressing them in?

I just got off the phone with Carrillo. I ordered their 7515 pistons. The guy on the phone recommended I send the block to the machine shop to have it honed. He said the piston/ring setup is too high tolerance to do the honing at home. Does anybody have experience here?
If I stepped away from the Carrillo pistons and bought stock pistons, could I hone the cylinders using a local auto parts store honing tool?
Thoughts much appreciated!
