you were saying it looked like dirt was in the motor. It could have come through the blower. It is a procharger so it is less likely it has anything wrong with it. self contained oil unlike my vortech.

Builder said, part of the reason was the longer stroke. Which is why he is going with a larger skirt to have less rocking of the piston.
And ddnspider is correct, they are custom wiseco 17cc dished pistons

By dirt...that could be the smallest speck of anything, most likely from the original build.

edit: What rod length is that btw? lol

Buy a 402 and sell the rods 
Ross pistons are running great in my current setup. Goodluck. No matter what I argued with you in the past I hate to see things like this happen. Good luck ED with your rebuild. I went thru a simular deal and had to rebuild it again. Spun a rod bearing. (Not my fault) But it all worked out.

A 402 would be nice. But if I can hit 700 rwhp with the new engine and a Procharger D1, then I would be happy.

Thanks. No worries. I don't carry a grudge. Not worth my time.

You will hit 700 rwhp ED. Trust me. If I can do it with a P1SC you can do it with a D1SC.
