i accept pm's guys, dont be shy. i still need a set of rods and pistons, had a set picked out from someone. the pistons i am looking for the best deal but want more than the stockers. if it matters, lb7, stock bore, stock compression(not big on lowering cr) valve reliefs. have the stock pins though

I heard that the Ross and Arials pistons had to run aound 11 thousands min piston to side wall were the Mahle is around 5 thousands, and on the cast piston that most of us run is 3.5 thousands and 4 on the back 7 and 8 bore.

From a PTW (piston to wall) stand point thats about average, 9-12 thou is where most of your True forged pistons are reccomended to run at, blown and turbo should run more in a gasser, dont let the extra clearance bother you too much. It will tighten up when running.

but for the mahle being so small of a clearence makes me wonder of the material.....

True forged pistons can handle more heat hence the need for more clearence...or room for Growth

True forged? What does that mean?
