Scott, that is distressing news about your experience with the 20 year old version of the Egge pistons. Mine looked good, and so far are working well. These are such unique pistons, I can't imagine they will be easy to have made else where. I can only assume they have drastically improved the current pistons. Keep us posted.

PackardV8, I am not sure what anyone else means by ?properly installed?, but what I mean is following the piston fitment instructions that come with the pistons. Pistons manufactured with different materials, design, cam grind, and taper all require different piston to cylinder clearance. This is true with any aftermarket piston for any engine. I think it will be easier to get V-8 pistons made by another vender. There is probably more demand, and they are much more conventional in design. As for Mr. Part's wizard, it's to bad he did not reply. I saw him logged in the other morning, but never bothered to reply. I do think Egge does the old car community a service, but am a little unclear as to Mr. Wizard's motives.
