Con rod alignment
#5
The problem is that the front of the piston is .010” higher than the back of the piston with respect to the block face at TDC. The other pistons are less than .006” out of flat.

Is there a figure which is acceptable for running the engine before remedial work needs to be carried out? The crank is a new 1.5” phoenix splash. The rods are new (Barlow) 1.5” which have been white metalled. The block has been bored and lightly faced. Pistons are Tony Betts slipper pistons.

I’m hoping to have the car out at VSCC Prescott in August.

Many thanks

Peter
