If I find a proper balancer bolt it should be ready by tomorrow, saving any other issue we may find.

Looks like something has been modified, maybe in a lathe?

Yeap, the marks are because of the balancer that was already in and it is tight tight. There is an issue there but nothing can be done now but I think it may work even with it, we'll see.

To get the tight balancer back on it you can most likely heat up the center of it(balancer) with a good heat gun before you try to put it on. I had to do that with my innovators west balancer. Also put a light coating of anti-seize on the crank snout.

Oven @200° for about an hour

I have seen people hammer then on. Omg they wonder why they have problems in life in general

Looks like the woodriff key is messed-up on the end.
That that "wheel spacer" not fit on there?

Good luck, and waiting for the results.

Is a Roush UDP (looks really nice BTW, way better than Steedas, if you one makes the typical and some times idiotic "looks" valuation) and plan is to use some sealant at the key as with the others. I think the snuggy fit is more because of the reworked nose.

And that is the first thing they tell you not to do, the thing is that I don't know why, I see those people most of the time get away with everything and I that am very picky with stuff, gets very unlucky.

It has all been custom modded but is good, only issue is that the key can't be moved farther back and is not long enough to safely grab the rear TFS gear so I wont be degreeing it.

Results? Well, no results for a few weeks, I may be the only idiot in the planet to break a ring using an ARP ring compressor. For some reason this one doesn't works as my others did and broke an end of an oil control ring. I hate myself today.

Just put a piece of lockwire in there. It will be fine, lol.

Any advice on where to get these rings fast?

Ford dealer? They usually sell them in sets for one piston. It's just the oil control ring, right? If it's the center part that holds oil you should be able to cut a larger one down.

Is one of the upper/lower control rings, I don't now if these are the same as the stock ones, these are Mahles.

Measure it and compare at the dealer.

 

[lito]

The closest dealer that may carry them is 1400 miles from where I am so I can't do that, lol.

Mahle got back to me and got to order a single piston set of rings, with luck I would have them next week, with all the freight it will cost me about 60$, yay!

So 4.6 block but what crank? 8 bolt but can't identify it. Also what bearings are those? Not oem or clevite. Sealed power?

Also can't tell but did you install the other half piece of the thrust bearing?

A crank that howls at the moon at night. Custom made bearings done here from a sold brass piece.

Yes, 3 pieces are installed.
