Hi, Hank,

7 of my pistons are actually pretty good, just need to be cleaned up,
It is to be assumed you have verified the piston skirt diameter with a micrometer. Last time I built a 374" by boring a 352" and using take-out 374" pistons, I had to go through three core engines to find eight good 374" pistons. Some had skirts collapsed to the point using them would have made for a noisy engine. The skirt diameter perpendicular to the pin should be between .001" and .002" less than the cylinder bore diameter.
thnx, jack vines
BTW, what bore replacement piston is it you need?
