All,
I am working on an 89 Shelby Daytona that i bought a few years ago with "only" a bad headgasket.... a bolt fell out and the water pump belt came off, he kept going down the highway till the car wouldnt run anymore.
well my daughter is ready to drive it so we grabbed a head from the j-yard a few months ago, had it checked, ported it, back-cut the valves, fresh valve job etc.. we finally get some time to sweap them out and just my luck, the #4 piston is no longer round! the #4 combustion chamber was also now missing large portions of aluminum. the remainder appear to have excessive p/w clearance so boring it is next. i am trying to find pistons and need some guidance. forged would be great but she is going to college next month and is only one of my six children....
TIA,
James
