    forward facing t-stat housing hose options

    Figured I’d add to this thread. I just went blinding into the process. Bought a Van thermostat housing and an LML upper radiator hose and adapted as I went along, I have the turbo coolant hose fitting plugged, and the Lml hose was about 4” too short so I got a piece of 2” exhaust tubing and...

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    This is what I was looking for. The factory rotating assembly is just roughly balanced from the factory anyways.

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    I've swapped stock for stock several times and haven't had any problems several years of running under their belts. Just looking for a better option not sure why these lml Pistons junked out.

    Cracked Piston solutions?
