hey guys

to day i had a conversation with my friend about disassembly my ty engine
and told him about the Federal Mogul Engine Rebuild Kits,
and about going with the flat pistons, he told me that i should ask if the flat
pistos gonna handle the turbo , wich mean the turbo doesn't gonna dameged the pistons (hope that you get what i mean) and he told to ask about what material should i take Hypereutectic aluminum, Cast aluminum or Forged aluminum.
and wich Piston and Ring Oversize (in) 0.010, 0.020,0.030 i my ty block is standerd??
if you guys are interested to see the kit take this website

Re: about rebuild kit

Flat tops are going to raise your compression and this can lead to detonation.
If you have the money Forged pistons are the best choice.

Usually the machine shop determines how much to bore the block out to judging by cylinder wear. The least amount you can bore it and get away with it is the best.

Re: about rebuild kit

You want dished forged pistons. Do a search for rebuilds and recommended pistons and rods, no need to reinvent the wheel especially when your in a foreign country and they guy rebuilding motors isn't used to 4.3's.

Re: about rebuild kit

Make yourself a mental note: You won't find any kit, package, or parts that are correct for a syty unless through a syty specific vendor.

Now not saying you can't find specific parts from Jegs, etc but you will already know what you want when you look. The "kit" you are looking it will probalby live all of 10 seconds of boost.

Re: about rebuild kit

guys i think that the syty hase the same s10,s15 engine parts coz they are all has the same engine (4.3 262 CID) maybe the differance is the syty engines is vortic, ami right

coz when i do the search on summit i go with 262 engine and chose the 1992 models
that what i do .
my engine is in bad condition that's why im gonna disassembly my so i have to change
the pistons connection rods and all the stuff that should replaced
and i don't know from where to get the replacement parts so when i do the search on summit i tell my self why don't i go with the flat one??

so now guys can any one tell me about the parts that should be replaced
and from where can i get (web sites)
and i hope that the website can ship overseas coz as know guys i'm in kuwait

thank you QUICK STORM , Boostedpimp , and all of you guys

Re: about rebuild kit

Same motor kindof. They require different pistons, the main journals are different, few other things. So no they are not the same.

At a minimum I would suggest forged pistons and ARP bolts for a stock type rebuild. TRW makes I think the cheapest known good quality forged pistons. You won't find a package deal for our trucks unless one of the vendors posted puts one toghether special for you.
