Ever stop and think, if you blew B17A ringlands why can't you blow equally weak B18B ringlands?

Spend 800 bucks on good pistons and rods if you're tearing the motor apart.

Ever stop and think, if he broke ring lands at 10 psi, he has a tuning problem. So your right prolly blow the b18b pistons too AND any other after market pistons you put it. The problem is the tune not the pistons. No super duper pistons is gonna fix a lean condition. They burn and blow just the same.

I'd say a better route than aftermarket pistons, is throw the b18b ones in and have it dyno tuned
