Even the top ring land? Did you re-install them in your current motor then? Have any pics?

Not the story Arias told me
the pistions went out to them and they looked them over and said they looked new and nothing was wrong with them ring lands was fine. this has been the first set they looked at that came out of the duramax.

They must have been telling a lie then, perhaps they thought it would help them sell more pistons.

They told you that they are having probloms with there rings
Why?

ok i was ask about this a while ago about the ring lands and i ask them and they never said anything about problems with the ring lands. but if thats what they told you then ok you must know more about them then i do. i was just saying mine had 23,000 miles on them pull them out and they looked at the ring lands said they were fine. but back to the topic at hand

Soooo.... I talked with Mike at Arias (310 - 532 - 9737) EXT 37 today
Strange but they never heard of Steve ,AJ or Josh
I thought everyone knew youThey had a customer call and complain about the rings...But never was sold a set of pistons... So they didn't know where this info came from and this person never sent the pistons or ring to be examined by Arias
They wanted to know if there was a problem....But could never get any info or confirmation that it was acurate data
As far as they where concerned there where NO issuesWhole lot of confusion here guys
perhaps you could tell me WHO you got this info from...Not that i think your making this crap up to make your selfs feel all warm and fuzzy

First off, I am in no way connected to Steve. I bought a 5spd kit from IdahoRob last year and returned it after MikeL helped me out with a SC 4. Sorry Simon.
But to address your question of wether or not the information I got was true or not, I ask you this. Why when you call them and ask about their pistons the first thing they tell you about their forged piston is, they are a "race" only piston?? Also, no where did I say the arias pistons are junk or not worthy just that they have not been proven for "street" use yet
So just to clarify now ....Alll they told you is that they are "Race Only"
And the rest of the info is what you made up?
Or do you actually know something?
Lets try this again.
Look up in red. Now read it twice just so it is perfectly clear to you. I never said that is the ONLY thing they will tell you. I said it is the FIRST thing they tell you, which means more information followed their FIRST statement. Does this make better sense? Can you understand the words that are coming from my keyboard?

Ok forget it
If i have to ask you what the second thing they told and the third thing and the fourth thing and so on and so on......Its not really worth it!If you had something to say, Then you could of just said it
What would be really nice, is for codyn to respond to the question that was asked. Did you, or did you not reuse the pistons after you sent them in to be inspected? Since codyn claims to be the first one to have a set inspected, I value his opinion and would like to hear from him as I am sure others would too. I just don't understand why everything is hush hush on the forums.
Update
From what I was told by Mike at arias, the pistons show ring land wear. When asked, he him hawed around on wether or not he would re use them. So to give everyone some closure, the pistons were not reused and are at arias facility. So the moral of this story is, arias pistons cost $2200.00 and that does not include wrist pins or cir-clips. The Mahle pistons run $2500.00 complete. I am not bashing the arias pistons, just wondering what the big deal is with telling the truth when asked a question.
Does this information make you happy Simon?
