I talked to your dad tonight - Looks like Chuck's stock piston and sleeve are in better shape than mine. If you still need anything let me know.

KC,
Call up Chuck tomorrow. Tell him I sent you. Tell him I said you can have free access to any spare parts that are left over from my build. If he recommends any new parts, tell him I will be happy to furnish them for my cost. If you're gonna be in school, have your dad call him. Ok?

Wow that sounds like a filtration problem for sure.
Was there any traces of the actual sand anyware?
Just curious but what comes in that $625.00 kit? Sounds a little expensive unless theres something extra in it etc.

i have a 440ex and its sucks i have had so many problems with it the bolts in the motor are not made for all that compresion you start ripping out threads. i blow the whole top of my motor off not cool. rethreading every whole in the head sucks it not worth the time or the money. i wish someone would have told me it was going to be this much trouble. iam putting it back to stock bore and selling it so good luck

Overtorqing will cause that. My 13:1 440 has the stock bolts - no problem

KC and his dad came over last night and picked up my old piston and sleeve. Let me know if it works out.
