Default RE: EXPRESSCRAFT GTX BUILD W/INLINES


ORIGINAL: TAPruitt

The only reason I said I think it was lean is, if you look at your pic you can see where the piston is blue. That would be from heat. LEAN. But it could be the lighting on the piston when you took the pic. If that area is in fact blue then is was definitely lean. A pic of the top of the piston would help also. Detonation will pit the top of a piston to.

piston is not blue at all, that's a reflection from my tv . LOL

Another thing to keep in mind is if something was in there then it had to get in between the cylinder and the piston to do that damage. So it should have still be there somewhere. Because usually when something gets in a cylinder it will beat the top of the piston and fly out or stick to the top. When a piston starting to seize like that about 90% of the time its from lack of oil or detonation, excessive heat.

What size screw did you use for the rivets on the windshield???

Firefox actually took your design and my upgrade and brought it a step further.
Looks real nice.

He's the winner in run time too: Twin 700ml tanks.
