Re: 4g32 to 70 thou oversize

Checkedout those 4g37 pistons today; all dome tops !! I dare say the milling caused the piston failure maybe. We are now looking at daewoo and hyindai pistons to see if and fit the gudgeon pins and height.

We are looking for flat top pistons to up the compression from the std 8.5. http://i270.photobucket.com...
