I have not had any complaint with Egge who I think is a reputible company and I will probably replace the
egge pistong with egge pistons. I paid the cost of sending the pistons to them as part of my trying to gather as much information as could be found while doing the rebuilding. When the engine was gone through in 2003 it had a crack in the structure that holds the pin on the existing #7 piston. I don't know if that was a factory pistion or had been installed in the 1983 rebuilding. I do not want this to turn into an attack on Egge who strives to be a top quality part builder. The shop that is working on the engine tells me Egge problems are few and far between. Now you have it from the hourses mouth although some have refered to me as the other end. Bill Mitchell
