They are a tighter tolerance O.D. Katech specifies they hold a tighter tolerance when they are sold as a matched set. I have both sets in my hand.

Personally, I prefer the Katech version with the tight tolerance bodies.

Cragon Automotive in Ashtabula. I am working with Summit Racing and Cometic Gasket on this build and the guys at Cometic recommended Cragon. He's done a bunch of chevy/LS stuff and was very reasonably priced.
