    i took off my heads today, found out they cylinder is is great shape, better than i thought. are these pistons stock? sorry might be a dumb question i am just wondering because the engine had to be bored out to be in that good of shape and i was thinking he might have gotten new pistons.

    Measure the cyl bores. Should be 4"...Those are stock type pistons with the dish and reliefs. How thick is that ridge at the top of the bore...If you can grab it with a fingernail...Its alot of ridge...Dont for get to cut it with a reamer before removing the pistons. Especially if you want to re-use em.
