The new pistons are here! The new pistons are here! These are 9:1 CR, 83mm plus 0.060 overbore, forged aluminum, as manufactured by JE. Excellent finish. I got the design specs from Beere Racing in the UK. They were good enough to give me the design rather than having me purchase through them as it is les expensive to purchase direct and there are no import fees.


Note how much shorter the skirt is than on the ones that were removed. It is also longer from the wrist pin to the top of the piston short of the dome.

So these are off to the machinist to be attached to the connecting rods then balanced.

Also the crank was straightened and all is right with the world.
