273 Commando Piston Reuse - L2222N /.040

ToolManMike, I was hoping you would see this thread.

I'm more interested in the pistons. 273 blocks seem to be cheaper than pistons. If I can find one that will clean up at .040, maybe I can use these pistons?

I showed the engine to a machine shop in the area. They said the pistons looked like TRW's. He said that Egge doesn't stamp them the way TRW did. The machinest said to pull them out and he would check them out for me. But if you have the specs, that would be great.

From what I've come across online, the TRW pistons were rated for higher compression than the Egge pistons. But don't quote me on that. It could just be that the web page I found was quoting the nominal compression ratio and not the actual value like you measured on your build.

I actually would prefer something lower like between 9 to 9.5 to 1.
