Default Opinions on RS Machines 12.5 cr pistons

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience (good/bad) with these pistons? They are super cheap, but I am worried about "getting what I pay for". LMK what you guiys think.

Please refrain from posting "he said she said" post, they are useless.

OP, I've used them on several rebuilds, none have had problems. Have the block overbored if necessary and make sure you give the machinist/builder the pistons and rings before any machine work begins.

I swear by RS ITR cast pistons...i think my dyno sheet speaks for itself ;-)



my B20V setup ran the very first set of their RS ITR cast pistons and made some decent power and torque on pump gas...daily drove the motor for like 4-5 years with no problems on socal streets

Are the RS ITR's a cast of the JDM or USDM pistons?
