im gona replace the rings, what should i look for other than 60 over rings?

 

also, is there a way to tell what pistons i have? they are domed, but other than that i have no idea. i need to know.

 

Sometimes the brand will stamp the casting# on the inside skirt. Are you trying to figure out the dome size?

 

yea, that was my bad, they are actually dished. confusion on the deffintion between the two. but i still wanna know. ill look.

 

One easy way is to beg, borrow or steal a cc kit with the 100cc graduated cylinder. I bought my el-cheapo kit from summit. Follow the instructions that come with the kit and I'll tell you the cc's of your dish. Also, you may want to get an inside bore gauge just to see if you have a taper bore. Good luck 350.

 

yea i had planned on gettin a gauge. does it matter what brand or are they all about the same?

 

Just get a set of calipers.

 

I'm sure the more expensive sets will outlast and hold their accuracy better. I bought the cheaper kit from summit. I don't build engines for a living but this cheap set has served me well. I'llcalibrate it to 4.000" with a micrometer and then run it through all the bores.It makes reading all eight cylin various locations a snap.It's not super accurate but it givesme an idea of a taper or oblong shape.Theset comes with smaller pinsso you canmeasuring the conrod bearing holes for stretch too.
