no worries all sorted.

How much too have them machined and where??

 

Burton will machine them to lower the compression even more for you.

Here are mine.

 

god damn ZVH your walls are a bit thin

 

jesus christ those ring bits touch are they supposed to do that ?

 

arent accrilite pistons meant to be a bit wank ????

Arias are the piston of choice by Mr Howell and or Cosworth racing pistons

 

Its called a wire rung block

 

cheers matey, how much did it cost ya?

How much are calbra pistons!

I rang burton and they said the crowns are unfinnished which is fine, but he never said anything about them finnishing it off!! grumpy git he was!!

Cheers fellas

 

Unfinished just means totally flat.

If you want to lower the compression to run more boost you can have them dished like mine are.

Cost was about £160 each (that was 3 years ago)

 

Only opened up 1mm from standard.

 

Cheers mate, just trying to work out whats the best way!!

what would you do?

 

bloody hell is that all, didnt realise they were that thin,

is a a 1.8 block or 2.0?

 

£640 to dish a set of pistons!!!!!

Bloody Hell!

A company like Arias or JE would have done you a set of made to spec dished pistons for less than that.

 

2.0

 

£160 each was to buy the piston, have it machined and to have it fitted.

 

cheers guys - is this the best option?

 

Best speak to the people that are building your engine.

Its really what they feel works best or what you would prefer.

Personally i've had no problems with mine.
