Description: Standard bore Wiseco pistons and rods with ARP bolts. #4 piston is pitted around the top above the compression ring and a quarter sized area on top. See the pictures. Any questions, please ask. At the minimum, you get 3 good pistons w/rods and ARP bolts. Rods are ready to go.
Story behind these is the block was in my garage when a pipe burst and the cylinders got filled with water. I was out of the house during our renovation for another 2-3 months before I found it. I dried up the water and soaked each cylinder in trans fluid (only because I have a few extra Subaru bottles). That kept the cylinders from getting eaten away. I found that the #4 piston had this crystalline substance around the top. I kept my ice melt in the garage also. A few pieces of the melt must have gotten into that cylinder. Water alone wouldn't eat away at the aluminum but a "chloride" of some sort would. the other three pistons are fine.
These are 958 rods, BTW. You can get another piston and swap it to the rod.
