Re: 454 rebuild- 83 K3500

Some more parts finally came in. Off to the machine shop to be balanced! Thanks to a bad starter when I got the truck, and a sloppy mechanic using standard threaded bolts in a fine threaded balancer, I needed new ones. And I figured 9.6:1 compression sounded better than 7.9:1, sooo new pistons. Two of mine cracked removing the rods, so that was all the excuse I needed to buy new ones!
