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 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 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

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

I tried to PM you on this, not possible Send me a E mail at cabburge@wans.net so I won't tie this thread up more about the details

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.
