    Ruri, have you verified that?   I cannot remember if it was n a 302 or a 351w, but as I recall, only the #1 piston could physically come out the bottom. Unless you have pistons like Al’s 351, which come out in hundreds of tiny pieces. Reference the thread about ring end gaps.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    No it was just wild guess, I edited my first post where I thought none could come out the bottom.

    Hey Bob, what’s up with the 393? I saw a picture the other day of an engine that looked like yours all assembled and ready for install.

    I think I saw the same pic ....but it had no separator plate, and no flywheel ... so I couldn't really tell if it was Bob's.
