I have converted a ST170 bottom end to ZVH for a customer.

It has forged pistons and longer forged rods as standard.

Just convert it as a normal Zetec as it is a normal Zetec.

Are the pistons in your ST170 fucked like? Surely if not it would be better to keep them as they are forged compared to the normal zetec ones?
