I liked them very much.

They were custom made, and the bore was honed to suit rthe eccomended tolerances perfectly.

The JE pistons are more expensive than the diamonds, that's why you see diamonds more often. I just happened to score a set of JE's for my build, or I would've gone the diamond route, $800 for a set of pistons is up there, when you can get just about the same thing for roughly $600. I LOVED my JE pistons in my 455 in my 67, and have a ton of confidence in them.

Default I agree with above

They are more money then Diamond or Wiesco. Also if ordering customs they take a while to be made. In my opinion worth the money and wait.
