Project "I needed to clean the air filter so I blew the motor"

Yeah I tried stealing one off google. 

Theyre 4 stroke pistons for gas motors, but ... theyve moved the skirt support inward right to where your slicing the linear window.

Ummm stolen image?



Having the support there makes the piston strong enough you can make a 4.350 bore bbc piston weigh 740 grams which is sbc stock piston weight, point being theres gotta be alot of load going on in that area of the piston.

I was given a copy of the Socal timing association (bonneville and el mirage) rules yesterday.

Uh OH.

I like the skirt bracing.    but the deletion of the side skirts on the K5 motor would cause PROBLEMS

Uh OH.

You better.
I'd love to see another member walk away with a new land speed record.
And, if you need a test pilot I'm available....
Getting to old to hold it wide open over the rough stuff for very long but I have no problem with high speed wobbles on the smooth stuff

if I did go for the record.  Id pull a horse racing move. and put a 105lb guy on it.

So I'd only have to loose 115 lb?
SWEET!

Just structural integrity was all I was looking at, as far as where you had the linear ports marked, the exact location modern pistons carry their load.

 I'm already in utah, & only weigh 167

And, what's the deal?
New cylinder?
New 6 windowed piston?
Ceramic bearings?
Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen mixing chambers?
High-power impulse magnetron sputtering coated cooling system?
We gotta know....

Don't really know.... Shaking the tree and seeing what comes out

I found out why its costing so much to rebuild my motor.......
