Got a new project

[Matt]

How come you decided against the Elite HD pistons? I am considering buying a set of stockers and having them machined like you are. Any idea what a set of stockers cost?

 

[Erikclaw]

Cause Dustin is a mad man. He has always built it himself if possible. I admire that in him.

 

[Dzchey21]

Just wanted to try them. Haller had a set I traded for a intercooler pipe.

I think the HD pistons are only 100 bucks more than stocks.

Plus like Erik said i.like trying my own stuff

 

[Matt]

Gotcha. I thought the hd ones were only a little more than stockers but I couldn't remember. I don't know if you still need one or not, but I have a stock intercooler if you do.

I got a stocker but I think i'm getting a no limit one soon too. Thanks for the offer tho

Got the bevel done on the pistons. Hoping maybe the engine will be.ready this weekend

Nice Dustin!

Two 6.4 family FTW btw...

What did you use to get rid of the lip?

What will that achieve?

What will that achieve?

That lip has been known to crack. It's just thin on the edge, and the heat cycles take their toll on it after a while.

 

[Mdub707]

The lip is and will always be a stress riser, especially with all the heat from added fuel.

Looks good man! Can't wait to see the final outcome.

So, basically dustin created additional reliability. Cool.

How much that run normally?

Costs about $30 a piston to remove actually.

Yep i'm back to driving the crew cab daily. ....

I actually I used a wood router and a carbide bit to get the radius correct then just a little hand sanding

Have you check the weight of them? I hope they all balance out fine.

I know when I was reliving some pistons on a turbo Yamaha one was a little less then the others and that motor lived a very short life. Granted it was about 3 times the RPM but there was also alot less mass.

Just an FYI might want to check the weight of them all.

[Dzchey21]

Yeah i'm going to check. I can't imagine them being much different tho since i'm taking such s small specific area but I will check them. I'm also going to compare to stock

 

[White_monster]

Balance the rotating assembly Dustin. When I took mine in it was way off and the machine shop wasn't surprised either. All my rod/piston assemblies are within 2grams each other.

I was going to say you did it with a Dremel.
