custom pistons
The engine builder doing my ls6 engine has found that all of it's cylinders show no wear,save for #5 which shows 5 thousanths wear.I was planning on using some h beam rods which are full floating,however TRW does not make stock pistons that are full floating and/or are for 5 over bores.So I can get my stock rods redone with new ARP bolts and go 30 over and use stock TRW's, or get H-beam rods and custom pistons and leave the bores alone, or even go the custom route and still go 30 over.I was told that the custom pistons and h-beams are a lot lighter than stock,are made better, can use smaller/lighter rings.So if I go the custom route,would I be better off boring it 30 over or leaving it alone? The difference between the h-beams and ARP bolts,labor for rebuilding the stock rods is less than 200 dollars.The difference between the TRW pistons and custom pistons is around 200 dollars also.Any thoughts or suggestions?
