I can see where this would work. But Brad, Iīm surprised you didnīt simply
go with aftermarket pistons like the Keith Black hypereutectic ones - donīt
they have a centered pin, for the same reason (less friction) and they fit
tight, as they donīt expand like cheaper alloys. Or so Iīve heard. Iīd be
interested in your builderīs opinion.
