Re: Offset piston in a 59 AB
It´s just part of the evolution...ford went there with the 8BA.
No reason not to use them as it´s what´s commonly on the shelf theese days. |

Re: Offset piston in a 59 AB
I think they were to reduce piston noise.

Re: Offset piston in a 59 AB
My engine was sandblasted through all the water jacket holes, cleaning the factory sand and aftermarket rust. I can cruise down the interstate at 65 MPH in the summer and it will show about 170 degrees on the gauge.
