    Anyone wants to call me out for making too many posts needs to realize I read all new posts (there's an ap for that LOL) and comment when it helps someone, makes me laugh, or OTHER. This is one reason I know about #7 and other stuff.

    Let's not be surprised by ANY elephant in the room.

    I'm sorry, but if my motor is getting torn down, its getting all 9 pistons replaced with forged, not just #7.....

    I knew about the #7 piston problem from reading in this forum and others... just was pointing out the fix seemed like a joke.

    Btw I think one of the site members has one of those custom balanced "9 piston" blocks.

    Naw the 9th piston gets bolted on to the block. Its independent. He only uses it for going in reverse. That way he doesnt blow hot exhaust fumes out the intake manifold.
    Looks like this
