Default Machining pistons..
How much would it cost for 4 to have a mil off?

When my head was skimmed for the second time I didn't think to get the pistons done as well. So now with the temperature on the rise my ignition has had to be wound back thanks to a higher than std comp ratio and a fear of det.

Hmm trouble is you never know how many times a head has been skimmed. At least this way as well I know I'm going to have nice low comp.

I would say an hours labour that's all at a machine shop, to have all 4 of mine pocketed cost me £45, so should be around that.
