Low tension rings only gain you about 8 HP. Engine Masters tested this and that's what they found. Not worth the oil consumption and ring coking issues. Remember Audi with their 2.0 Turbo engines needing their pistons and rings changed after about 20K miles? They used low tension rings in those engines. Funny how the oil consumption went away after they installed new pistons and standard tension rings. You can pick up 8 HP by advancing the timing, a cam change, roller rockers if it didn't already have them, or installing a good set of headers. The rocker arm change they are doing probably freed up 8 HP. That engine won't last with a power adder on top of it. They'll be tearing it down for a ring job after 25K miles.

My engine builder built my 427 in 1983 and he was against nitrous or anything else and said “You want power available all the time so it’s always there” he also had me use lower compression pistons at 10.25:1 so I could use pump gas and it’s still running great 40 years later. It’s got a lot of power and surprised everyone including a policeman who I outran in 83. The builder made everything work together and was a master in tuning. It’s in a 1966 Chevelle which was my first car.

I got a really interesting question and it's not as dumb as it sounds. I noticed you polished the top of those Pistons which is a good idea. I'm curious about smoothing the edges of the dome. Instead of having sharp edges is most of those don't have rounding the edges a little bit. Would there be any advantage to that? The main reason I ask is I'm not a big fan of those domes in the piston. I prefer a flat top piston but with that 24° valve angle that's a little hard to do to get compression ratios of 10 or more to :1

It's always good practice to do a tear down of any used engine you buy that you don't know its history. At most, all I would have done was install new bearings, reassemble it and stab it in to whatever project was going to receive it.
@TwentytenS4B83 жыл бұрын
@@drewt3210 People who are restoring a classic car that had a 427 would do this. This engine drops right in versus the more expense of buying LS swap parts, and or custom fabrication. Ideally, you want a numbers matching car for the most value but a period correct car is the next best thing. I mean LS swapping a 67 Corvette would be cool, but ultimately more expensive than stabbing in another 427, and removing value at the same time. Now if you're doing a rat rod or restomod then the LS swap can come into play.

@@TwentytenS4B8 the wear and failure items aren’t what I’m talking about. But the cam, rollers and lifters are part of why that engine was worth anything to begin with being upgraded from the crate already. Again why buy a hopped up motor if every part that makes it hopped up over a base factory motor is going to be taken out snd replaced. That’s like buying a brand new home just to tear it all down and build a new one. Instead of just building it how you wanted it from the get go instead of buying already built plans or buying s junk fixer upper
