centered wrist pins rattle and i want the only noise coming from my engine to be the rumble of hp.
so far i have ai 226/234 cam, canton covers, lpp stainless headers, heads and intake ported by my engine builder, ls7 lifters, comp 1.6 rr, 7/16 studs and guideplates, arp main studs and pro series wavelok rod bolts, and 2.5 true duals with bullet mufflers. any guesses on hp with the 355? engine will be on a stand till i get time to paint the car jetstream blue, and after my intake manifold is ported. it, along with the alt case, water neck, alt bracket and waterpump cover are being sent to chicago to be powdercoated anodized red

I see the theory about them rattling, but that is not a common problem in higher end pistons. Seriously check the Mahle's out.
