Pistons

Are Federal Mogul forged aluminum pistons good? I just got a set from Postons.

Trw pistons are tuff as hell, and a great bang for the buck, but they are a little on the heavy side, especially the pins, but they are a great entry level forged piston.

I run them. I had my rotating assembly balanced and everything worked out well. If your goals are for a mild street/strip engine like mine then they should work well. I used my stock crank and rods too. Supposed to be good for 600 hp.

do they have some numbers in the pin area on the side? if so, do you mind posting them? I want to know if the pistons from my engine were from poston. Thanks.

They should be here tommarow and I will post any numbers for you than

Isn't it a little too late to ask if they are any good... if you already ordered them ?

 

[87TIGN]

Haha yes it is too late but I would have sent them back had I got bad feedback about them. Didnt know TRW produced them tho. TRW rocks

heavy pistons tend to slap around more in the top of the cylinder!
