    304 flattop choices

    I mean he said the silvolight brand pistons were made out of same material as the 'hypatec' brand. I think he was saying they were both hyperuetic or how ever you spell it. He was saying something about the silicone in them, not 100% sure might call again tomorrow. And staying 304

    Took engine bloxk in today to get acid tanked and looked at. Needs boring out and 20+thou pistons, now need to find a decent kit of flatops
  39. J

    304 flattop choices

    Took it in to get acid tanked and checked out today. Need 20+ thou pistons. Theres a kit on ebay I found around $700 but im assuming the bearings that come with them are for standard cranks and mine needs to be grinded? Seems to be almost easier to start again with a 355 kit
