Well, i called ROSS today, and according to their shipping records, my pistons shipped onthe 11th and should arrive today. WOOOOOT! Now i just have to wait for rods to come back from shot peening and then its all going to be balenced.

The prices can be found be calling Ross directly depending on what options you add, but expect around 600 bucks.

will you have to hone your cylinders?

So what steps are required to putting in new pistons? Is it you just take your engine apart, replace the pistons, and then drive your car easy so the pistons get re-broken in? Or are there more complicated things you have to do to get the pistons in?

The block i have was honed, trued and milled slightly to make it flat and then a 60 degree cross hatch was put in the walls. Im also having it all balenced.
