Re: Flathead Bore Size ?
Speedway had some hypereutectic flathead pistons for a while that were cast for them. They must not have sold too well but I haven't really heard anything about how they worked out. It would be interesting to know. I always wondered why the piston makers didn't go that route. The expansion factors for those pistons allow for a tighter bore clearance than with forged ones. The cost might be prohibitive in a niche market. How strong they are would be the big question for me.
