Sounds more like a dodgy bit of measuring rather than crap pistons, I know Steve Bayliss in his Orion turbo does not seam to have any problems with them
that may be the case, im suspecting that the pistons i was sold are not forged but standard 1.8 zetec pistons, as jay was as well, his were machined wrong.
im not knocking accralite as a manufacturer cos i know others are using them in other applications with success, unfortunately burtons seem to have mis-sold them as forged or good enough for turbo application. which they obviously arent
