Why is it best to speak to the only (repeated) person who's had a problem? As with everything, you hear the bad much more than the good.. and such threads just propogate that effect.

Every piston manufacturer, at one point or another, has had a bad batch.. if that was the case with 'Nash'.. assuming his engine was built correctly (not that I know either way) is perhaps no better than assuming that Wossner pistons are crap.. (although they are VERY cheap!)..

You will get more slap on a wossner that standard mahle as they run bigger clearances.
