Been an eventful 24 hours.
Lost some time due to a septic tank overflow. Pump capacitor was blown.
One of the guys from work, on his GSXR 1000, got hit by a drunk driver yesterday evening and is critical in hospital now.
Anywho pulled out the Carpenter turbo pistons today. The beefy Carrillo gudgeon pin clips are tough to get in and out.
They're designed to be 8.0:1 afaik but that's in a 2.3L engine.
In a stroked 2.5L that ends up around 8.6 or 8.7:1.
So out with them now and in with my own custom made 8.0:1 (in a 2.5L Stroker) turbo pistons.
with these I should have to worry less about knock and use more ignition advance than with the "8.7" ones.
Spent the evening gapping the rings.
You can see Carrillo use the pretty much the same piston model but took out some meat in the crown on the left (my custom ones) one to lower the compression.
