Help with my car
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2016 12:45 pm
My block has 103,000 miles on it and the new piston and rings only have around 45,000 miles or so. Now I had a slight bore done and the pistons are 9:1 compression. I run the car with premium and it has been tuned to a aem air intake, but ive switched to the weapon r system. Now just last week I boroscoped the motor to do a check up because the car was getting laggy. It turns out my plugs where a little dirty, no suprise there. But the part that has my intrest is the cylinderwalls look great, and the tops of the pistons looked like brand new. Slight pitting from racefuel on trackdays, but the motor looks solid. The valve train has always ticked and it sounds perfect. Now I drive the car into the band all the time because why not? The car is not forced induced but was built to be. As far as I can tell their is also no leaking on the headgasket. Plugs when just carboned over, no white, no orange from the coolant. Exhaust smells of fuel, and the car barley burns oil. 1/8 a quart a oil change and I change with full syn every 3000 miles. My oil catch can litterly has half a medicine cup of oily mist. The car seems to run fine, but should I be worried that 38k miles down the road the pistons still look like new or is that because I ride the motor hard nonstop? I always let the car warm up untill the radiator gate opens, never overheated the motor, bounce off the band alot, lots of shot high power shots through first then engine breaking.
Tell me what yall think.
