Quote: Ryan do you have a picture of the piston, and did you hard anodize the pistons? I look foward the your great posts.whitch do you think is the weaker link, the pistons or head gaskets.
No I did not have pistons coated or anodized.... & no I did'nt take any pics of them. They are just a big -23CC round dish. Top ring is about .420" down... & alot of material in the top of the piston. These are a copy of my old CP's.... The CP's were around 420 grams, these are 520 gram with all same dimensions. I run a tool steel .215" wall pin.
I think the pistons will take as much HP as you could possibly ever make as long as it does'nt detonate or go excessively lean.
The rods or crank are the weak link in my motor.... not sure which would let go first & don't really want to find out. This just has an off shelf $950 Callies 4340 Dragonslayer crank in it... Rods are 6" Carrillo H's with SPS 7/16" bolts.
