[QUOTE="mike69440, post: 16841551, member: 3142"] My motor is finally apart. Here is what I found. My engine was starting to stumble when I loaded it up over 6,000 RPM or so, as the Iridium Plugs w had about 35,000 miles on the. After installing new plugs I decided to test in out with a hard pull. One day last year I ran the car up an on ramp, full bore in 2nd gear, trying to keep the car pointed straight, not watching the tach, figuring my ear and butt would tell me when to shift. Misjudged and I think was at about 86-87 mph before getting out of it and shifting to third. Normally the tunes rev limiter kicks in at 6,800 RPM or about 81-82 MPH. I thought I dodged a bullet! I heard a tick at idle but did not consider that too abnormal A few weeks later the tick gradually turned into a knock. The rest of motor in great Shape for a boosted engine with 106,000 miles. bearings look great., etc. One cylinder wall is scuffed. In the old days with a small block Chevy, you would just quickie hone the block, & install new rings and pistons, and toss it back together with just new gaskets and a timing chain. This 4.6 Rebuild is going to be expensive. PK machine uses Diamond Pistons. Is it worth having the skirts coated? Any recommendation aside from Upgrading the valvetrain, new Ford Chain , etc. What bearings is found to work best? Stock Ford looked great. If fine with the 600 HP it always had, so not thinking of doing port or or cams.
