Have you already bought the pistons ? Is this a turbo application because you are going to have a low compression ratio , 8.0 ... probably less ..., with those pistons ?

Moly would be better than cast .

JohnRR, I will be using the existing pistons. The machinist told me the compression ratio should be +-9.35:1.
