[QUOTE="Nightmare302, post: 15595871, member: 14127"] The factory piston setup is significantly weaker than an aftermarket casting. There is a reason when cobra motors fail it's the pistons that fail. I understand budget concerns but 300 bucks for a set of rings over 700 for rings pistons and wrist pins seems silly. I would talk to the machine shop doing the work before you totally decide anyway. You may need more than a hone and this will need oversized pistons not factory bore. Best of luck with whatever option you pursue. [/QUOTE]
