this question is for the serious engine builder.
i'm re-porting two mc10's i have that were stroked and gully ported back in the day.
they both have decent stroker pistons and the bores are very re-uable as is.
the problem is neither piston was ever pinned even though they were nicely open ported on the 6 transfer ports and the exhaust ports are opened and slightly raised.
i'm kinda surprised they didn't hang a ring like that but they were runners.
my plan was to nine port them but i found both had been gully ported already.
i prefer nine porting as opposed to making a huge triangle sort of transfer port but i'm working with what i have in hand..
anyway i definitely don't want to run unpinned rings now and would prefer to use the pistons i have already.
i've read how to do pinning before but for the life of me i can't remember where i saw the article.
so either a how to or direction towards a how to install ring indexing pins would be awesome.
