lol, okay...lets give this back to Juan, what prices are there for the machining and do we have to provide the pistons or give a "core swap". Perf, are the pistons that you have 8.5:1 and are they JEs?

they are 8.5:1 je forged aluminum pistons. They are the low silicon content pistons that are meant to handle a great deal of boost and cylinder pressures.

I will find the link. I did a write up of the engine build. It is under the photo section. It is called "pics of my girlfriends" . there are side by side pics of the pistons and rod combo there.
