Re: Piston selection

Whatever you pick, consider getting coated or having them coated. Apparently it makes a big difference in noise and helps reduce heat transfer to piston.

Re: Piston selection

If you want coated pistons, does this impact the diameter of the piston?

In other words, if you want coated pistons do you have to start with a smaller piston ....or is the coating only used on the top and skirts which does not increase the diameter of the piston?
