Title: Spec on Earl's Pistons?
Post by: Forzfed on June 01 2017, 11:13:33 AM

Earl, what are the specs on your piston?  Pin height, dome and all that fancy stuff?

I'm pretty sure you can order whatever you want. But I'm sure earl will be along to let us know.

I was more interested in the cc's of the dome.  But I found a PM from him where he says he uses a 22 cc dome.

Yep, 22cc inverted dome.   OD is anywhere between 2.500" and 5.500"  :)

Pin height can be a little tricky depending on the ring pack. 1/16 have a little less room than 1.5's, and a long rod stroker needs oil ring support rails most of the time.
