Default Nice Diamond Jugs *PICS
Diamond Forged Jugs 4.070 for L92 block with valve pockets for LS6 heads.
Moly coating on skirts. Flat top. These pictures don't do them any justice. The workmanship looks really good..

Talk to Nick at Diamond. He was awesome. He races an LS6. He took L92 pistons off the shelf without valve pockets, and cut them for my LS6 heads. Add a week for moly coating, they were at my door in three weeks.

I took my parts to the engine builder to have the crank re-balanced. The only change is the Daimond 4.07 pistons are replacing my forged 3.905 LS6 pistons. What a deal, the 4.07 Diamond pistons are only 4 grams more than my LS6 pistons. We can probably work on the pistons to remove some weight, won't even have to re-balance the crank.

I just got my Diamond pistons in also. LS2 with L92 heads with correct valve reliefs for the L92 heads. Everything going to machine shop today for assemble. Nitrous motor. I am using the new SDPC cam for the L92 heads. .224/.232 lift .585/.590 LSA 114. Great pistons even if it took a while to get them. Got a good price from SDPC also.

Well, you have to admit they are nice, and they are big, 4.07. I'm looking forward to gaining 31 inches from 346 to 377 with my stock crank.
