Egge Machine can supply the main bearing sets in standard, .010, .020 and .030. The rod bearings are not available from Egge Machine Co at this time.

The 320 and 352 pistons that Egge Machine manufactures do not have the steel struts in them.

I know this has been quite a while, but here's some good news. Egge Machine is tooling up to make the 4 1/8 bore 374 Packard V8 pistons with the steel strut. All sizes will be available. As soon as I can get an approximate completion date I will post it here.

Egge is the supplier of the King main bearing sets. We had these made years ago, when we had plenty of rod bearings and did not get the rod bearings made.

Egge's 4" V8 pistons weigh 866 grams with the wrist pin. The 4 1/8 pistons weight 898 grams with the wrist pin. We do not have an original piston to get the weight of a Packard V8 piston. We do not have an original Packard shop manual to see where they would measure a piston. We do not recommend installing our pistons to a Packard specification. Our pistons should be installed to our specifications. Our standard pistons on the 4" bore, measured .500 up from the bottom of the skirt would be 3.9975. The 4 1/8 standard pistons measured .500 from the bottom of the skirt would be 4.1225. As far as weight of a set of pistons, we try and match as close as possible within the set, but not more than 8 grams difference. On the ring pack we do not use the K wall type set up. We use the more standard D wall rings. It is much easier to get the rings for this set up. Piston rings are getting a lot harder to come by these days.
Farther up in this thread there was a question regarding our warranty. We warrent our pistons for a period of 90 days from date of installation. We do stand behind our product and if after the 90 day period any problems occur we will do what it takes to make our customers happy.

The material and quality of all Egge pistons are the same. They are all held to the same tolerances, whether its 1 piston or 500 pistons. They all have to adhere to the drawing specifications or they are rejected. We do not lower our standards for any particular make, model or quantity.

I have not been trying to "plug" Egge as much as possible. My name is Jim, I have been working at Egge for 36 years. It seems that most of the comments on this forum are based on pistons Egge made 10, 15 or 20 years ago. I just wanted them to know that Egge pistons are definately not made the same as they were back then, especially from a quality aspect.
