Icon IC 743 piston weight incorrect

This is the response from Trevor at Icon. Kinda disappointed that he insisted I pay return shipping. Luckily Summit who I will shop with again gave me a prepaid return label at no cost to me. So hats off to them and not so much to ICOn.

I ordered the IC741 pistons that hot rod magazine used as a direct replacement weight. Sounds like their forging got heavier so i am curious now if these flat top pistons will even work. @MOPAROFFICIAL you are right moving to mexico added alot of weight. I'll let you guys know what the ic741's weigh when they come in. Thank all!!

Response from Trevor at ICON:
"What looks like happened is the forging was revised and strengthened, which not only increase the weight made it a more robust piston, at that time the pin was also changed with a slightly heavier wall unit.

While I understand your frustration with this weight change, UEM is constantly and consistently looking at ways to improve the product. Since this piston is not considered a replacement product (OE replacement part) the product weight and design is subject to change at our discretion, and may not reflect some published weight data . If you are still unhappy with the pistons they can be returned through summit, unfortunately since these are still perfectly usable pistons return and restock fees may apply."
Well sorry to hear it did not work out.

BTW, I do not think the IC741's are in any way shape or form actual replacements. Yeah, I know what the article sez and what has been discussed here.... but even with the slightly lighter ring pack, I get numbers that show the bobweight going up by 35 grams. That is not awful but is getting beyond the factory tolerance as I understand it.

Now... one thing you could do is gradually try to grind about 10 grams off the bottom pad of each rod. That is straightforward work and you can do that consistently. That would claw back 20 grams off of that increase. It is not properly balanced but at least you are getting within shouting distance of factory balance.
