Nice, nice piston! We measured these things 10 ways from Sunday and they were spot on! Pit fit was good, and the weights matched within .3 of a gram on a digital scale. For the price, they are a great deal I think! I originally scoffed at the KB/Icon forged piston deal, writing it off as a "TRW knockoff". I was wrong and am a KB believer! KB's will go in my next moder!

For the price, they are a great deal I think! would you mind sharing those measurements with us? things like compression height, and what tool you used to measure it, actual pin clearance as received and what you used to measure it along with the actual piston O.D. measurements.
