Piston Expansion
Does anybody know which aftermarket piston expand the least/slowest. Driving on a cold motor is what killed my last motor. This is for a boosted motor BTW.
don't tell me to warm it up either, im too lazy to do that every single time.

Re: Piston Expansion (DaZman69)
The srp pistons have about the lowest expansion of the forged ones.If you have the skirts friction coated and the top coated with heat barrier.Then you would have what your looking for.Swain tech in NY does an excellent job.I did this on a two stroke motorcycle that I ice raced and it worked excellent.

Re: Piston Expansion (2.0Coupe)
the 9.1 CP pistons ask for .035, the 10.1 CP's ask for .030. I have the 9.1 CP's and they never make noise at start up. And if you blew your motor cuz you are lazy, well then thats tough ****.

Re: Piston Expansion (leadfoot78)
did I ask you for some consolation for blowing my motor? no, I just asked which pistons expand the least, so keeps the comments to urself you ****** queer. I know how to take care of my motor, I choose not to. So really it isn't tough ****, I probably have couple days of my life back that your ****** *** doesn't.
