Piston question

RustyRatRod said

Thing about it, if you're running the stock type open chamber head, you're never gonna see quench even with the KB107 at zero deck height. What's the chamber depth? Something like .095"? That plus the head gasket. LOL

If I were you, I'd stick with finding the pistons you had but in .060, just like you started out doing. Even if it means waiting. Have you got a deadline other than just wanting it done? Maybe move onto something else until you get the pistons. Just a thought.

I would rather have the speed pros just because that is what I planned and did the most research on. I dont have a problem with the kb107s I would run them I was just hesitant on buying them because my guy dont like them he said they are junk. He said he has seen more than one engine locked up blew up messed up because of kb pistons. He cracked me up he is old guy it's a family operation him his son and grandson all run the place his grandson is like 25 and he said I would run the kb they will be fine the old guy spoke up and said I have seen so many tops come off kbs I wouldnt put one in a lawn mower. Haha
The only difference I see between the two is the kb has a slightly higher compression height @ 1.675 vs 1.660. And the the speed pros have coated skirts which I like better. And the kbs are slightly lighter which is why I stayed away from them in the first place
