LQ4 Refresh picked up an 05 LQ4 for my fireturd
motor has about 130k on it
got it pulled apart and it looks great
this will be my first LS engine I've done(I'm a Pontiac guy and was raised around 3 more old heads that to this day swear by N/A poncho power)
newb, I guess that I am, but I'm not new to the engine building game.
Motor is apart and I'm ordering pistons/rods/rings/Bearings here this week before I send the block out for a hone and align bore and the rotating assembly balanced.
Ill be assembling myself and posting the build under forced induction....
my question is in regards to Autotec pistons
anyone running these, I believe stock48 was and his builds are really what made me say **** the rusty poncho 400 in my shed I'll spend half and LS swap the SOB. Shout out to that denmah dude too, holy **** man I live like 3 hours from him but i still want to be that guys friend. That **** is that **** we all like.
What rings should I buy with these pistons? I'd assume a steel top, but what about thickness?
