BBB Big Bore Boss 322
Pulled one head and cleaned it. It passed the straight edge test for the sealing surfaces.
The pistons and wall look pretty good to me. FYI the piston to bore clearance is .0015" and no torque plate was used for the hone. Pistons are Mahle with their proprietary coatings. I'll have to look at my records but I think there is about 25,000 miles on this block since it was assembled. Fuels have been 92 pump and E85. It's seen as much as 19psi. The wetness is residual coolant from the head.
I'll pull the other head, take the header off, clean and straightedge it tonight and then call it a day. My body really appreciates me only doing a few hours a day.
