Thanks Chuck,
I got them from an old racer and was just checking, btw they are still
making pistons arispiston.com I think, I looked and they don't list lbc
pistons now. Doesn't appear to be any fit problems but we'll see, They are
on rods now so I intend to just use them as is with new rings and block
bored to fit.
Thanks to all who replied.
