Hey guys,
Last tournament I fished i blew a hole in piston #5. 1999 3.0 225 L-EFI Serial-0g925361 Upon investigation, my diagnosis was either fuel injector failure and/or oil injection failure. I disassembled the engine completely and everything else looks great. Bearings, Crank, other 5 pistons, all look perfect. I dropped it off at the machine shop and having cylinder 5 sleeved and brought to stock specs 3.625" and the others honed. I plan on doing 300x heads with SVS intake, carbon reeds, 300x IGN and 250 XB fuel ECU's and lightened flywheel as my only mods.
Do you think i should buy 1 piston to replace the bad one and reuse the others with new rings, bearings, and pinned wrist pins? Or all new cast pistons? Or do you think forged is necessary for my build? Thanks in advance.
Also in search of 300x Heads, Used SVS intake and 300x IGN and 250XB Fuel ECU's.
