57083, RE: block and piston question Posted by etx, Aug-13-03 05:51 AM No, I believe the stock pistons look just like that also... I could be wrong! | |

57085, RE: block and piston question Posted by DarkOne, Aug-13-03 06:08 AM Are they shiny where there is no carbon? Cast pistons are dull grey even when clean. JE's are forged aluminum and are shiny even after use. They also have a JE logo on the bottom. | |

57095, RE: block and piston question Posted by XtremeRS, Aug-13-03 09:20 AM Stock pistons do have raised centers. My JE 8.8:1 pistons did not have that, as that is what gives you your lower comression ratio. Sounds like you have some forged low comp pistons in there. If you just pull the oil pan, and get a good light to shine up on the undrside of the pistons, you should be able to make out the JE logo, if they are JE's. | |
