id think it would be ok but im not 100% sure.

 

why wouldn't it, just let your car warm up before you start driving to let the pistons expand correctly

 

if u want, get a block guard... its only like 90 bucks and it'll stiffen up the walls a lot better...

 

The reason I ask is becuase I read on several threads that the forged piston would beat up the cyl walls because of looser clearences. It don't make scense to me but I just wanted to make sure......

 

Yes, of course you can.
You do need to expand the wall clearance, just slightly - ie wiseco is .003"

I think that's the answer, after the engine warms up the clearances should be the same as cast pistons. Just don't flog on it until it is warmed up.

correct. Piston slap does sound like **** and you will know when it goes away, sounds almost like valve tick just a lil bit louder. It does **** you off but you learn to deal with it for the couple minutes its there and you realize mmmmmmm i have forged pistons

 

Kick ***, Thanks guys...

 

you can use it and you will not have any problems. i ran mine that way for 3 years no problem. hell theres people in the area running 20 psi still on stock sleeves with forged pistons
