you mite want to grab those 9.5:1 up and use them. ASC9521FL

LOL I have been thinking about writing a letter just like that recently.

But yah, I’m with Smokster, get the 9.5-1 pistons if the bore is standard. Otherwise, nothing wrong with used pistons, as long as there is nothing wrong with them.

Plant City Engines (Jurnigan) bought a surplus and will sell you pistons as of now. However I dont know how long that will last.

Leading dealer for them.
Diamond builds diesel and gas pistons of custom design.
Sad to see CT shutting down.
Kinda like D&S cam service shutting down, had great service from both.
