that it is.

but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

Short block is done. Took a couple evenings to file fit the rings including the oil ring rails. Most times the oil rail rings do not need fitting buttttttt,I had JE do me a special size 4.150 bore piston and the nearest ring set is for a 4.155. No biggie as I have a nice powered ring gap grinder  but it still takes time to get it right.

The way JE corrected my piston failure was to provide a 1.2mm steel top ring with a reduced radial width of approx .060 less than a standard ring placed .020 lower than previous pistons ,a 1.5mm napier style second ring along with a 3mm with support rail oil ring set. All in all I now have a safe .100 between valve relief pocket and back of the top ring groove. To make the top ring seal well the lateral gas ports were retained. It's a very necessary thing for the narrow top ring.I am very comfortable with what they did.

I always keep a set of Fel-Pro 1034 gaskets with a .041 compressed thickness like I've used forever but decided to get a set of  1044's with .051 compressed thickness on the way from Summit. Hopefully here Mon.-Tues.. Just felt it a good idea to gain another .010 head to piston clearance for this unlike drag usage.   .035 is the very minimum to be safe dragging but .045 is a lot safer as the piston skirts wear and piston rock will allow that clearance to be lost over time .

 Anyway,,,,, I should be able to button the thing up Wed-Thurs.

This little thing is actually kind of a POS but I have file fit more rings than I can remember with it.With care and getting to know the thing I can hit my target +- .001.  ABS makes some VERY nice ones but are $$$$.  Grabbed a pic off the web ,left cam at shop with comparison pics of the rings.I'll post them tomorrow.

sounds like they stepped up and delivered what you wanted. always happier when you know whats installed and how. i like the power file. that looks very handy or better than by hand. so how did the head turn out this go round?

Here's the pics for anyone interested.
 First one is of the napier ring style. 2 and 3 are showing the size comparisons and 4th is showing the pin bore intersecting the oil ring groove that causes issues with the lock it tool.

i can see the recess in the side of the piston posing a problem with the siral lock. hard to see the diff in rings from pic but i do get it. this should prove to be better once you get it all done. the good heads will help too lol

pic 2 has the narrow top ring on top of a standard top ring. That shows how much narrower they are .
