Piston skirts and heads cracking between # 3 and 4 are the most common issues with these motors. When I did the rebuild I went with Speed Pro pistons. HUGE difference in piston design and skirt construction. I'm really pissed, because this is the first time I've had a rebuild let go on me. ( other than a race motor..) and like I said, I had absolutely no warning.
