Flycutt question. People that have had flycutting done to there pistons, what was the charge? It takes us abour 6 -8 hours to do this procedure, I was thinking of a more flat rate price.

Re: Flycutt question. for the amount of effort involved, and if would really be around $500, why not just get diamond or someone else to make you some "Pre-flycut" or domed-in forged pistons? Then you get both the fly-cut and the side benefit of having forged for around $600 right?

Re: Flycutt question. yeah, you would get just the parts for around $600, but that wouldn't include any of the labor charges to put them in which would cost a pretty good amount. if you can do this stuff yourself, then flycutting your pistons won't cost very much at all. it's the shops labor that costs so much.
Re: Flycutt question.
Thanks Slowhawk, but to re-phrease my question,
"What did 'yall pay for your flycuttin?"
I know there is shops that have done this.

Re: Flycutt question. well my diamond pistons were around $600 and came already dished-in, that was how they were put together initially. Without that I never would have cleared P/V running a 242 cam 595 lift on 2.08 intake valves.
