Default Re: Aussie Flathead Piston Repair

I dropped a valve in the 331 Chrysler in my dirt car, which messed up the top of the piston pretty well. This was a set of JE 12.5:1 pistons, and they wanted $400 for one replacement piston. (331 pistons were about twice the price of 392 pistons.) My engine builder "knew a guy" that he said was a wizard. He had the piston welded up and put the engine back together and we ran it 5 more years with no problem, so I believe the Barney story.

That looks like a righteous repair.
