i want to know what people think about manley 85mm pistons?
do you know anyone who has run them and if so are they durable?
good quality?

 

first i think you need a better thread title. one that conveys the meaning of the thread.

second, what are the plans of this engine?
85mm can be pulled off but what are your power goals?

 

no i am 85mm i want to know what about the manley pistons?

 

I have manley pistons but have yet to start the engine. one thing I did notice was that with one piston in my set, the second ring did not sit in the ring groove without tension. A little massaging worked it out though. I just thought it was worth mentioning as I've built several engines with at least JE, Wiseco, stock, vitaras, SRP, CP, and Ross and have never had that problem.

The great thing is that they are under $500 and already include the tool steel wristpins.

 

I just bought some but did not run them yet. I think you will be fine.
