Thread: I can't find pistons

Tweet

We just got a set of Diamond pistons for a 351c ford, coated skirts, etc--looked super---took the Trend Performance pins out of the box---found nicks on the ends, wall thickness was off by up to .040 , junk, junk, junk----called up -----oh, those are free and are bottom of the barrel --
ordered some from PPPC----nice, nice, nice


Oh---how did we get to .040????? Motor was already .030 with some wear, we honed it to clean up and measured---would need to go to .040----Diamond had .040 available with coating, pins include---pistons are great, but they really need to do something about there choice of pins as they are junk---and yes phone calls were made to Trend--reply-you need to talk to your supplier----called Diamond---reply-you need to talk to your supplier---called xxxxxx-they got another set of pins ( look good ) called PPPC =got overnite set of high qual pins----called Trend customer service/sales for feed back---voice mail and haven't had return call---customer came by, saw the three sets of pins----said put in the PPPCs
