Rusty O/ Toole; I have a question for you that I hope you might be able to answer.

When Packard introduced the straight eight in 1923 the engine used three ring aluminum pistons. Sometime later Packard dropped the aluminum pistons in favor of four ring cast iron pistons. Why would they have done this.
