maybe ur choice of words could be better
Forgive me, but I can't see the thread originator mention mfi anywhere. Best not to assume, eh? Oh and 'mfi' can be mapped, well at least the spark ecu can.

so ma argument isnt skimmed pistons dont work or are shite,just could save this chap a lot of hastle in the long run if he goes the forged route the now while the engines out
could be difference of a budget relaible engine to a cheap unreliable one
You say your car ran sweet as ever but the pistons couldn't take it? Isn't that a contradiction? Do you mean it DID run okay and then melted? If so, refer back to my comment about it being well mapped/setup
This is all getting very distracted now; the TO wanted to know about machining the standard pistons. He's received various answers now. He can make his own judgements.
Good job.
