Hotdog, I understand that custom pistons aren't the easiest way to go, nor the cheapest. However, the cost for OEM replacements is $75-100 per piston, and only 50% chance of including rings. Mikes is approx $91 per piston including rings. If the custom pistons are within $50-$60 or so of OEM/Mikes, to me it would make sense to fork over the extra cost of about ONE piston to have newer alloys, design, better wear and longevity etc than settling for 40 year old cast piston tech.
Hotdog, what drove you to choose custom pistons? was it a displacement increase or some other factor (parts avail. etc.)?
