I don't know the weight of those 8:1 pistons. we didn't re-balance, which I would have preferred, but there absolutely was no money so it went together. I was dumbfounded by how smooth the engine ran. actually noticeably smoother than my balanced "properly put together" 440.


This.

The 2315 and the factory pistons were the same within their respective tolerances, probably +/- 10 grams. The 2315 comes with a factory-like pin as well, total right at Lew's 1000 gr.
