I was cleaning up a set of standard turbo pistons I intend to use and found some damage on the surface of 2 of them. basically it looks like small pits the size of a grain of sharp sand if that makes sense. there is one pit mark in each piston.

If they are all the same they possibly are to do with manufacturing
I seriously doubt it! |

Should clean up if there's any sharp edges and be useable I'd have said. On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

I picked up a set of rings for them when I first intended to build the engine - looking back at timesacales, it was probably 5 years ago since I got them

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |
