I've use several sets on customers and my own pump gas street and strip motors with no problems that stop the build or failed after going into service ![up up](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/thumbs_up.gif) Like anything else, make sure you know what you want and need before deciding on buying and selecting any Hi Po parts, cheaper is not always better ![work work](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/work.gif) I'm getting ready to build a pump gas 3.91 stroke 440 motor to sell, it will probably end up with a set of the Icon pistons with the reverse dome, D dish, pistons in it to make between 10.0 to 10.5 to compression ratio with a set of aluminum 440 source Stealth heads ![up up](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/thumbs_up.gif)

Are you offset grinding a stock crank or buying a new one? What will you use for rods?

BradH, the rough finish is for oil retention. The weight advertised is for std. size each oversize adds weight. The 822-040 Icons I had -- despite that they were advertised as being 686 grams + a 141 gram pin -- actually weighed 704 grams and came with a 157 gram pin.
