well i caught these pistons at the last minute....im not sure what compression they are, but im hoping they're at least 8.8 or 9.0 at most....anyways, i didnt think they were high compression because aren't high compression usually domed? and they wouldnt be able to sit the way they are..... i got them for a good price, so i can always resell them.... im just hoping i got what i wanted...let me know what you think, thanks

Uhh..

Why don't you read the spec sheet that came with them, or failing that, scan it and post it here.

Why in the hell would anyone buy pistons not knowing what they're getting? That's insanity.

What does the top of the piston look like? Stock pistons (9.6:1 compression) are just slightly raised. My JE 8.6:1 pistons were slightly concave. You're not gonna know exactly by looking at it, but maybe get an idea.

Do you even know what bore size they are???

Klein567 - Ya i heard about that ticket you and Sean got.
Clint485 - Stupid chick cop...worst part was she looked like a dude.
Klein567- Thats becuase all hot cops are strippers

Here's a pic of .020 over, 8.8:1 JE's for comparison.

I'm noticing right away that the ring lands look different than yours.

Those are not 8.8's IMO.

PIST0WNED.

why was that guy selling them, thats the question?

before usin em, Id have them checked out, and scan that sheet so Dino can figure out whatcha got.

These are Jareds pistons...they are 8.8:1. you bought them for 330. after i offered him 350 for them....his loss. look in the for sale wanted section...there were posted for 400 in there.

Terry

yeah...they were jereds...i just emailed him and he said they are 8.8:1's....im not worried...i got them for 340 shipped and they are brand new.... thanks for the help though

Based on the pin location, I'd say they are long rod/stroker pistons. Thats what mine look like. Howell only stocks them in 0.040 over. When you get them, look at the spec sheet or the side of the box. I can cross ref the part numbers with mine if you want. If they are long rod/stroker pistons, that limits your choice of rod.

I second the Howell comment... that ringland spacing and flat side looks like Jamesman's "Custom built by JE for Howell" 10.5 pistons. They may be low compression, who knows, but they're definitely not JE# 168612.

Yup, definitely not 168612, which is JE's low comp piston for our car. The 168612 have those grooves machined into the upper ring land and the second for heat dissipation. JE designed the 168612 piston for our car, those pistons look like they were made by JE to someone else's specs like Howell. I didn't notice the pin location until you called it out Corbin, it does look much higher than a standard non-stroked piston. either way, those are not standard 8.8:1 JE pistons.

Here's a pic of stock 9.6:1 and JE 8.8:1 on the tops, as requested.

I agree with corbin, the pin is too high.

ummmm...this isnt looking good then....i guess ill let you know the part numbers when i get them...

Yea you got a point the wrinst pins are a tad higher....I couldnt see it at first had to really look. If they arer pistons for the long rod kit use em. Get the longer rods and do a full bottom end. That is the kit i want to get when i am ready.
