kerosene is basically what sea-foam is...

as [MENTION=16454]slow90coupe[/MENTION] said, hit it with brake cleaner and a tooth brush. Use the old piston rings (cut one of them) to clean out the piston seats. once they are "clean" (you'll never get them like-new. lol) soak them in motor oil for a few hours. let them drip-dry before re-assembly. it will fill the pours of the metal with oil and help with initial start-up, but letting them drip-dry will make it so you can handle them during assembly without dropping them every 5 minutes. lol.

I'll keep that in mind MC but I should have worded it better my bad lol, but the motor is still in the car. So I need to clean them while it's in the car. And I'm finding the tooth brush method is pretty tough on the pistons that are in the bottom of the cycle lol.

But yep! I'm finding I can't get them TOTALLY clean lol its just impossible. But anything is better than what they are now

Turned my back for 3min and this happened... And I was at a tad below half lol

I'm getting a surprising 16mpg out of it right now tho, maybe I'll get it to 18 with the muffler delete and 6637 intake I have on the way!

[MENTION=14656]Musturd[/MENTION] you should be able to appreciate this one man

Now to do some more work on the Mooostang

 

[Musturd]

I've wanted to do that to mine too . I have the exact same exhaust it's made here locally

 

[KillNThrill24]

Do it man. It's $40 from xdp. You may not really notice it too much at first but when you hear it echoing off houses you'll know it then sounds so good. And no kidding MBRP is Canadian eh? Sweet! Can't go wrong with them. We got our system from advanced for $100 brand new lol

dam! night & day dude! good job brosicle!!

 

[slow90coupe]

Those pistons are coming very clean! Looking good!

 

[KillNThrill24]

Thanks guys! Got all 4 cleaned up and a coat of oil on them. All ready to re install the heads and continue on with assembly! I know I know it's taking me forever but I'm only using about an hour or so a day to work on it as I have many other things to work on in the mean time lol. But I'm hoping to utilize my Saturday off (which NEVER happens) and get almost everything done. Heads might go on tomorrow before work, not sure on that yet but definitely will be on Saturday.

Broken dipstick means no matter if I get it completely together or not, I can't run it till I get one in. So that's a bummer But we'll see how everything goes!

 

[KillNThrill24]

Today Jimbo I got all the pistons cleaned up, block is cleaned up pretty well, tomorrow or today, Brian is coming over after he gets off and were putting the heads on and going from there. Hoping we get it close to running. I'm DYING to drive this thing. I'll look at that chin spoiler tho I don't mind waiting for one in the mail if I can help out a friend. I think mine is messed up, but that might have been Brian's old one.. I really can't remember man
