tlowe #1716,
maybe this note should be titled "Fairly Long rod for the 292
Chevy". I'm still going down the "primrose path" to 292 bliss
with the re-machined CON, MF, etc 7.00" rod. That means a 283
piston with 1.80" CD. The R/S ratio is 1.7 as are the 327 and
350 SBC's.
my recent reading turned up a comment by a GM-Six man saying
that some attention should be paid to the skirt/thrust face of
292 pistons to help alleviate cylinder wall flex. (the list of
potential helps/fixes is long.) have you heard of generic
problems with 292 'wall flex' or is this a 'generic warning'
to take it easier on a 292 than a 4-bolt BBC?
