Sd220 pistons
The top piston rings in all 6 bores were shattered and working there way up through to tops of the pistons and the guides were knurled and loose again (among other things).
I warned the owner that repairing this engine would be expensive( I had no idea how truly expensive SD’s have become to rebuild in the last 5yrs). I offered her a BG241 that I had on the shelf that just needed head work, but she maintained that she wanted the original engine back in the truck. So off we went finding all of the parts needed to get this engine back in fighting shape.
Fast forward 8weeks.
The engine is back from the machine shop.
The custom pistons from Diamond are here... They are oversized, don’t recall how much off the top of my head- maybe .030? The best part about them is we had the crown raised a bit to bump
Compression by a point.
Take a seat before calling to order a set, but it should still be less than what we paid as the R+D is done for you. Order this “custom part id” and yours will look just like ours.
I’ll posts more about this truck as time allows.
