Would you use this piston? (Pics)

[Meep-Meep]

You can't balance the crank until you calculate the bob weight for the rod throws. So really, once you go that far you might as well make the pistons and rods equal.

"..............but then again balancing machinery that spins 60 KRPM is what I do for a living so I'm a bit **** regarding that." End quote"

I'm dizzy alreaedy!

Some of the little ones spin 90K! Ceramic ball bearings too.

After doing some research, I discovered that the 2295's were set up to weigh as much as the factory pistons (with their supplied pins). This was so that you could swap the pistons and not have to rebalance the crank.

So if a 440 could do 100,000 miles with factory pistons, I guess I not too worried about swapping in a set of pistons that weigh the same amount.

Thanks for all the input guys. I am going to use these pistons. I can't afford to buy new ones now, and don't want to. Hoping in a few years I will be able to build a stroker out of it anyway, so I don't want to put a lot of dough into the motor now.

Later!!!!
