Skirts..... By Royce Peterson - 04/05/2003 10:57:45 PM; IP 205.188.208.167 Ford piston skirts often break off. It does not have to have any other problem to happen, they just break off when they get 100,000 miles or so one or two at a time. Cast pistons do things like that. You can get a truck 390 balanced to 428 specs when you rebuild the motor or get the short block balanced without a flywheel and use a 390 truck flywheel as is. Talk it over with your machinist. A lot depends on how the rest of the motor is done. If you use a light forged piston it would be a lot easier to balance. Royce
