Do a search on here about the pistons, as this make is mentioned loads of times, and not for good reasons.

Wossner pistons are quality, but they are not Wossner rods (they are in the same price league as Arrow), no idea what make those rods are

Heard good and bad about these pistons, I think that they are o.k for upto 450bhp from what I can gather then anything after that is risky.
I have a as new set of 92mm wossner pistons and rings here for Ł350.

Aren't these to high a compression ratio for big power builds. Just thinking back to that Ebonycossie thread when there was a huge song and dance about Wossners?

Doesn't putting 4x4 ones in a 2wd lower c/r by around .25? IIRC (7.3:1 ish?)

I thought standard rods were a bit "iffy" much above 600hp ??
