buying pistons - maybe...

[saracornelous at mcleodusa.net (koabi)]

Hey all,

I'm going to get my block inspected next week and I want to be prepared
if I need to get oversized pistons.  I've been looking around for forged
pistons (and rods, which seem to be impossible to find) for my ABA and
I've found a few places but I don't know the reputation of any of these
dealers.  Any leads are appreciated especially if they are priced well.


Also, I recall there are two types of metals commonly used in forged
piston application which have different heat properties.  One has
properties which may cause some cold start piston slap.  Does anyone
have experience with that?  I'm just curious if it's as bad as some
claim it is.  If you know which metals do which I'd appreciate that too!

Off to work,
