-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is our encounter with pistons while rebuilding our engine this winter.
First we found a new old stock Hepalite piston set...after weighing them we
had 12 grams difference between the heaviest & the lightest. Upon further
investigation, we saw that they came from 3 different sets. Darn. We sent
them back.
We then went with a set of Australian made pistons, they appear to be well
made, only 1 1/2 grams difference between the heaviest & lightest. We had our
machinist check them out & he said all was fine. They are now running in our
Series IV.
IMHO I would check them out carefully and definitely weigh them, which ever
way you go.
Good Luck!

Series IV-on the road again.
