Be careful.
By Dave Shoe - 01/14/2004 11:02:34 PM; IP 216.243.176.34
I don't have the weight info handy, but I have noticed that the pistons, being diecast, only offer slight opportunity for shaving metal weght from, and variably-weighted pins offered the coarse weight adjustment prior to shaving the pistons to achieve the specified weight.

Be sure you include the weight of the piston pin when weighing the piston.

This is not true for forged or impact extruded pistons, as they typically have lots of material which can be removed to reduce weight.

Sorry for the incomplete response. I wish my piston weight info was readily available.

Shoe.
