Dumbo The Flying Elephant

A tip of the hat to Mahle Pistons. I checked the next size +.005" over pistons for the engine and size varied .0003" and weight of the eight pistons varied by less than a gram. I forgot to check weight of small piston to larger piston for balance. The bores checked OK just not very straight. With us going to the next size Jeff Taylor Performance will have it round and straight. Honing
using a Profilometer assures the values of RVK and RPK are closely observed. New equipment is always plus for any shop.
