Balance issues when it starts to flake off.....that's why they are not coated or painted.

ohhh didn't know

Does anyone knows the pros and cons of oversize pistons?

[azgtx]

no cons...more displacement means more power.

yeps that also helps spool the turbo up, know how big can I go without weakening the block

[clement_ghost]

Maximum 0.040" oversize... And you'll probably need a low temp thermostat.

By the way, painting the turbine and compressor wheels of the turbo was a BAD idea. These things turns about at 150,000rpm and really dont need much to get balance issues...

Finally got what what I wanted a BP05. Got a good offer, motor looks good and the block came with a BPT oil pan just great. Now the works begins again, new forged pistons and rods, new oil pump if billet better, new water pump, AARP head studs, probably everything new.

Guys I have been looking for a good oil pump so far I am in favor of the Boundary Oil pump, probably the street and strip one. Thoughts?
