Re: 283 Chevy Pistons For Model A Rods
keep in mind that a B motor is thinner in the valve area. They crack there often, and especially if someone thinks seats are a good idea, which they are not.
I would check with Jim B. 4.030 is kinda big. They are also way tougher to seal the rear main because of the pressure oiling

Re: 283 Chevy Pistons For Model A Rods
tbirdtbird ---- Thanks for the information. As the motor was pressure tested I did not think there would be any problems with cracks in the case valve area. I feel like you that 4.030" bore is real risky. Can anything be done to help seal the rear main?

forever4 --- Thanks, for good news.
Still need to make sure a "B" block will handle 1.750" intake valves? Is 4.030" to big a bore on a "B" block? |

Re: 283 Chevy Pistons For Model A Rods
Does anyone know of a place to buy solid copper or hi performance composite style Model B head gaskets for a 4.030" bore?
