maybe joints without grease fittings. greaseable joints have to be hollow to let the grease through. non greasable solid? I don't know, just thinkin out loud.

I have an old customer who can build anything. He's into steam & antique machinery, & says with a lathe, milling machine & a welder you can do anything. He is a high school dropout with no formal ed. It's called passion & I salute him.

I live 20 min. from the plant. Myself, I'm a diet coke man, but not by choice. once in a while I sneak a Lager just to confirm that it is still so good. Nectar of the gods.

yep, looks like a home hone job, if everything is within spec, I would hone it with a blueberry bush, clean the pistons, add a new set of rings & make some smoke. If the bearings look good & oil pressure was good I maybe inclined to reuse them. then again I'm a cheap bastard.

never drove over my engine, but after a strange noise I looked in the rearview to see rods, bearings, oil & antifreeze. at least the intake & one head was good.

I'd imagine the most stress on it is when the starter is engaged. don't see a problem with it slipping, especially with a roller cam. I like it the way it is, easy to adj. no buttons, keys, eccentrics. KISS.

Many thanks guys. No wonder the 360's were gutless gas hogs. I would have never imagined that's how ford lowered comp. When I googled these there wasn't much info out there other than a set on ebay. now if I'd only bought all those shorty cast headers at Carlisle when they were $50 bucks.........

the rings also TRW were in a separate box, but the pistons were all together in the original box dated 1983. I have a 64 390 block that should clean up at .030 with C3AE-C rods. I may have a set of C7 rods somewhere though. is there a rod diff. that they are listed as 66 & up or is it more to do with comp. ratio or head cc? the wrist pin location & size & ring groves are exactly the same as the orig. 64 390 piston. If it were a 360 piston I would imagine the pin would be farther down. the 64 pistons have valve reliefs & are dished in the center, these are flat tops with reliefs. I was thinking of just building a mild fresh motor for the 62 in case my 352 goes south. Maybe the voice in my head is one of Barry's 445s are calling to me.

FE Technical Forum / trw piston question
« on: March 14, 2015, 02:36:56 PM »
20 - 30 years ago I bought a set of trw L2291A pistons at Carlisle. they were brand new in the box with the rings. I've see L2291F's but not A's.
anybody know what they are? were they troublesome? can I use them or should I just scrap-em? they are marked .030 over & I only paid $30 bucks.
the box had 390 forged scribbled on it. thanks for your input.
