Why would you not run Fingers pistons?

 

[Harbin_22]

Fingers and ATI damper

I'm 16:1 on fingers pistons. X2 on ATI or socal super damper

 

[lmmcbrown0917]

Ok so Fingers and Ati damper, what else?

 

[Harbin_22]

A couple thousand $ more than you plan on spending :roflmao:

 

[Harbin_22]

Rocker studs is about all I see off there

The little things add up fast lol, trying to keep it around 10 or so on the motor itself minus air/fuel

x2. Also machine work.

I personally would do new oil pump, water pump and oil cooler while in it.

Personally I would do a road trip.

I plan on doing the oil cooler, i added in around 500-1000$ for machine work also.

Pinned water and oil pumps

Sounds like you have a good plan, other than the particulars...but the others have you covered.

Above all....have fun building it. Ain't worth it if it isnt fun.

Whats the main difference between Finger's pistons and the new low compression Mahle with graphite skirt coating and valve reliefs? I liked the Mahle's, holding well at 650+ and extended time over 1500f.
Only suggestion I would add is drill out the oiler tips, helps piston cooling and gives extra lube to wrist pins.

Never heard of a fingers piston cracking. Not somthing you can say of the mahle pistons.
