Ok, so going to purchase some aftermarket rods to get a motor built finally. I'm looking to go with the stock pistons along with the aftermarket rods. 425-450whp max as a goal (probably S4 & meth), not a dyno/track/hp queen. Don't need rods that support 1000hp when I won't even be pushing half...
So, I installed a DM OCC around 25k miles ago when I decided to clean my valves and install my PNP IM. Took it all off today again, trying to figure out a problem, and decided to snap some pics. Was pleasantly surprised to see how clean they are still compared to how they were.
Also want to add...
