make sure to check this.

reciprocating weight (piston) increases the load logarithmically so if trying to run some RPMs keep that in mind. the lighter the better, and the con rod bolts are what take all the abuse. there is a reason that ARP gets $50 per rod bolt for the Carrillo rods.

Hey John,
Yup, 1" pins in these Ross. For 4" bore. Modern ring pack.
I hear what you are saying regarding reciprocating weight. I'm in a bad way with these pistons, as they have .680 dome thickness ! .500 over stock thickness !! Maybe wait till I get a head that will run better with carved dome ? Can remove .032 to bring comp height down to even with deck....but that ain't much compared to what's there. Not sure that Ross will have a 'solution' for this situation ? Heck, maybe further ahead to hang these on the wall and get a super light set, eh ?
