Re: [Amc-list] FW: 232 CID 3.8L

The vehicle would be my daily driven. I've recently rebuilt the engine . The problem is that the engine is still hard to turn by the hand. And it is overheating. The temperature gauge goes higher then 1/2. I've opened the engine and all bearings was properly installed. Ring gap clearance is 0.12". Some of the pistons has some thin lines on it. Anyone knows what can be the problem.> From: Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:13:40 +0000> Subject: Re: [Amc-list] FW: 232 CID 3.8L> > I try not to assume anything when it comes to things like this.> How do youknow he is not going to run at Bonneville or looking to get every little detail exactly right?> I don't know this. > > > --> Mark Price> Morgantown, WV> 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5> 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrc II> " Chronic Pain Hurts"> > -------------- Original message ----------------------> From: JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>> > > > --- Wrambler242@comcast.
