It’s about 1 to 1.5 thou of distortion. CP wants 3 thou P2W. I have special pistons that want 1.5thou Short answer? If you wanna do it right. Yes. Torque plate. Being NA, tighter the better until the piston seizes in the bore. I found a Canadian source for a torque plate. It’s still...

The day went very well minus my oil leak lol. A Camaro trans am race car popped an oil line and hosed down the track. Dude did not pull off like you’re supposed to. I hit the oil slick at full kill. Video to come lol. It was a lot less bad than it could’ve been. It was a bad spot on the track...

Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day. 12c and sunny. Felt warm. Went out for 3 sessions. This is the first time this track has seen any action this year and it rained all week so we were starting with less than ideal track surface. Found some time rather quick. The car is working. Engine...

Been working through my prep list this week. Track on Sunday. One of my absolute favorite parts of this car. I bought the setup 5 years ago and it’s been through some serious racing. One of the best investments I’ve made and would make again anytime. Not sure why but this picture gives me...

You got it. 225’s for the rear Different series like to have different rules so competitors can’t easily build for both. In the one series for my class I’m limited to 245. Other is 255. I will be doing more events where I need 255’s but for the one series, gotta be 245’s. It’s stupid but...

The tire stack. Still pending a pair of 225/45/17. The shop had them for me but they were 2023 date code so they wouldn’t give them to me. They have reached out to the distributor and are getting me a fresher pair. This is why I don’t have a turbo. The same guys barely affording their turbo...

Hahah. Had a stomach biopsy. I’ve never been put under. What a trip. Gonna have my buddy come by with his bore gauge and micrometer. We’re gonna measure P2W ourselves. If it’s 3.5thou or less, perfect. Anything more and I’ll need to use my virgin block. Talked to CP and they said 3thou is...

How my day started today How my day is going Can’t stop won’t stop don’t know how to stop! Also weighed my rods. BC light weight. They real nice. Every rod is exactly 440grams with bolts. Extremely light. I see balancing marks on them so he did balance them but not sure if he had to...

Story time. So Monday I finally received all the CP quotes from my Canadian sources. Everyone was willing to eat some cost but after tariffs and whatnot I was looking at $1800cad+. Insane. Wasn’t gonna pay that. I wasn’t willing to accept this. I called CP directly. First guy I talked too...

My exact thoughts. Fuck the wisecos. Clearly not meant for me. Will share the CP story soon here. It kinda worked out like it was supposed to happen this way lol

These were ordered by me on Tuesday. My wisecos were stolen. They are gone gone. Nothing even on marketplace for those so whatever. Fuck em. I called CP directly for these and it was well worth the phone call

Best pins money can buy for my setup. 0.170” wall, and more importantly 9310 material. I googled it vs the 5100 shit Wiseco had and Google be like “one is for high rpm high HP race engines, one is for oem replacement and street engines” I shit you not. That was google ai reply lmfao There’s a...

Well then. Just gonna say. Someone got some nice stuff here. My scale shows just how high quality this stuff really is. It’s impressive

Yea seriously lol I will figure something out. I still can’t believe someone stole my pistons. Wtff They haven’t shown up on marketplace yet so whoever must be keeping them for himself

So after talking to everyone and anyone it seems I am looking the same price more or less. The 25% tariff hits hard. We are talking $1800cad for a set of pistons. ~1400ish without tariffs. This includes some heavy duty wrist pins. After calling CP directly they hooked me up with a guy who...

I’ve got a box of blown up Wiseco pistons lol. I also have some oem Honda pistons hanging around. I guess the biggest thing is declared value. It’s gotta be low, then just hope they don’t check part numbers

I am legit thinking of this as the solution. My parents have a time share in Buffalo they’re there all the time but of course this time…they ain’t going until July. Fuck lol. I am considering shipping to my homie in Baltimore then he reships and puts the value as 200$? Maybe?

Yup absolutely agree. Got a great quote on CP from realstreet performance. They reached out to CP directly and spoke to an engineer. CP recommends I get their upgraded wrist pin for my needs. Think about how insane that sounds lol. RPM really is a level of stress beyond boost. I am basically...

I really hope so. I am big time bummed about it. Sad more than mad even. I guess I need a set of pistons now. Fuck. I’ve decided I can’t toss the block. I feel like maybe it’s a sign. I’m not meant to have Wiseco in my engine. My first Wiseco pistons took out my entire engine. Now my...

Yea. I can’t say for sure but it’s possible. At this point I’ve written it off. I can’t do shit about this. I’ll need to find pistons that’ll work with this block if I want to finish this engine. Fuck sakes
