Hi Pete,

Lifters

Hi Guys, Advice please. I’m just about to reinstall my original hydraulic lifters and wondered if there’s anything I need to do prior to install.

Big sigh of relief
So on replacement would it be advisable to use a watertight sealant on the stud when fitting back to head.

Water

Can anyone tell me if this is good or bad.
I’ve removed the exhaust headers from the heads and the rear bolt on the passenger side had water coming from it.

Just found out that block was bored out for KB hyper pistons.
I assume these will be the KB167's

I've read about the KB's and some say use and others don't , seems there's a lot of issues with regards to rings.

Pistons

What pistons would you recommend for a 318 with a 30 thou overbore.
Have just laid my hands on a block that's had all the machine work done, crank polished, etc.
Have never rebuilt an engine before, so any advice appreciated.
