Howdy,
Been reading up on rebuilds and have one with no paperwork.
2.5 all new internals .020" over...
its been spiking to 17 psi for short periods with no issues so far on a stock tune for close to a year.
The question is, is it possible to find out what type of material the Pistons are by how the top looks?
These are laser/pin stamped .050" on top.
The outer-top portion was cut by lathe and the inner part looks to be cast. Definitely not machined. No other markings can be noted.
I am about to put 18+psi on this motor and am getting cold feet after reading about Jasper nightmares and hypereutectic tragedies... Thanks for input!
