[QUOTE="FSTBK65, post: 11347681, member: 130528"] Finished tearing down the engine yesterday. Wound up dropping the K member, seemed a lot easier. Pulled the heads and I believe I found where the head gasket failed. Heads, block, crank, rods and pistons are all at the machine shop to pressure test the block and heads. How many miles does it typically take to wear the coating off of the piston skirts? I have a few pistons that are missing some coating, one that is not showing much at all, and others that look fine. I took them to the shop with the block. Any recommendations on what piston to use? This will not be an all-out race engine, but I want it to last. Also what rings and bearings do you guys recommend?
