Are these pistons good for my 318

[73SwungOut]

Yo wuts up guys. Sry for all the posts and questions lately. So on my recent posts i listed all the performance parts I'll be installing on my 318. I saw that a few of you mentioned the KB 167 being a pretty good choice. However seeing that these are rated at 2 stars in the photo... just wanted to ask you all if these are still a good set. I plan to swap out for some better ones in about 2 yrs along with a stroker crank and some aftermarket heads. So just Wana know if these are good pistons for now cuz I'm about to purchase.. thanx again my peeps

They get a 2 star rating from people who buy them and either can't or won't read the instructions on setting the ring end gap.

I think those pistons were at Summits scratch & dent sale in McDonough,GA. for $280!

Follow the ring gap instructions. They’re different than from oem specs.

If they don't, find a new sheen shop.

They "are" new. I can understand how the term "scratch & dent" may sound but they are demo items that didn't sell. They were brand new still wrapped in plastic! Next time I go I'll take pictures of what I find.

Yep, the top ring land is very close to the crown and sees a lot of heat, i used the the nitrous spec and then some for peace of mind. If you don't have enough gap the top ring will butt together and crack the piston.
