Re: Fumbled a piston
That's the whole thing,cost and frame of reference.Run a chipped piston? yeah why not,when engines were five bucks and plentiful it made sense. Today,with today's prices for machine work and parts it doesn't make sense to take a chance.Not to mention the added value some folks put on subcontractor castings,the 'diamond' factor. Would the piston be okay? likely it will,but for 95 bucks and the rings you would buy anyway why risk having to tear it down again?
