Engine Balance Way Out! Just Gonna SEND IT! | Sick Week Build Part 5

The 350 Small Block in the Square Body Service Truck got freshly gapped rings and a rotating assemble that is way out of balance. The rings were gapped to 0.024" on the top ring and 0.026" on the second ring, which is what is specified for up to 15 psi of boost. I had to replace one piston because it was a victim of gravity. The new piston and pin was about 80 grams lighter than the piston it replaced (it weighed 666 grams, so there's that). So the rotating assembly is a bit out of balance. I could replace the entire set of pistons, but this is a budget build, so I'll just send it. Which...that'll be fine...probably.
Sick Week is right around the corner and I need to rebuild the 350 small block, upgrade the clutch, rebuild the SM465 Transmission, install a Yukon Locker into the GM 14-Bolt rear end, install the Mishimoto Radiator and Electric Fans, wire in the MSD 6-BTM, and all the AutoMeter gauges. This Square Body is an awful choice for a drag race vehicle... but it'll look cool going down the strip...slowly. I have a pile of parts from Summit Racing and the Amazon...and not a lot of time to get them installed! So let's get to work!

hello from cobb county! cant wait to see this running.

[@freedomworx]

Oh it runs. Still gotta put a few more hard miles on it and then dump the break-in oil. 👍

Just JB Weld the socket to inside the new piston. That will really piss the internet off.

[@freedomworx]

Should have JB Welded some 10mm sockets into the wrist pin 😂

[@HammerWrench]

So how did the JB Weld main cap turn out?

[@freedomworx]

So far so good 🤷🏻‍♂️😎

[@HammerWrench]

@@freedomworx that’s good. Now if the piston of Satan doesn’t ruin everything!
