Its so hard to tell on a picture if they are good or not. They have been cleaned up. If you are questioning it, Dont do it. You may be cheaper now...but if there is something wrong with them....it will cost more in the long run. If the seller is a legit and prominent seller, then rethink it.

Well i've got bigger picts that i could email. i just thought i'd resize them ,,,
Do they look like they've only got 500 miles? I didnt think pistons would be that black, but i'm no expert!

You can't tell anything from a pix. You need to mic them and examine them closely with a trained eye. Pay as much as you would pay for the rods and the pistons could be a bonus.

Re: Piston help ASAP!!!!!!! (Kwuaymaikrup)
Alright thanks for the help so far guys. it means alot!!
Another question though, he says these are 75mm's. My stock ones are 75mm's. I thought you had to go .5mm overbore at least. I didnt think you could go with the exact same size??? am i correct, or again, am i wayyyy off/!?!
Thanks!

Re: Piston help ASAP!!!!!!! (ill_take_one)
you could get away with running stock bore if the cyl arent to "out of round" from having high milage........but that is NOT recomended
id say inspect the pistons very closely and check for detonation if you plan on buying them.....

So you are saying its highly probable that these pistons wont work, because they are the stock bore, right?
Any other opinions? I suppose i could buy them, and just sell the pistons if they dont work...
