#7 piston not centered In bore? Doing my first LT-1 rebuild. Gapped all the rings. All rings are in spec. New connecting rod bearings. Noticed my #7 piston is not centered. It’s going towards the back of the block in the bore. Engine turns over by hand with no binding. I removed the piston and verified the rings were good and than reinstalled it. Piston is still not centered but all the other pistons are centered in the bore. What could cause this? I can’t find anything wrong. Any advice is appreciated
Pistons should move in the bores some and are you sure the connecting rods, wrist pins and pistons in good working order? Just for the hell of it go ahead and install it into another cylinder and see if it does the same thing and if so you could have a problem with that one.
