I picked up a set of Silv-O-Light pistons for my 292. These are new in the box and have been sitting in this guys garage for long time. Since the price was right at $100 it looks like a good deal. They do seem heavy and I have a postage scale so I slid the pin out of one and weighed it. The piston without the pin weighs 1lb 5.2 oz. I weighed 3 of them and they all weigh the same. The pins all weigh 4.9 oz. Is this a heavy piston for the 292 or about right? I looked up the Compression Distance spec. and it says 1.760 I am trying to get 9to1 compression and using a stock never touched G heads.
What would be the best way to go for rings cast or moly? I am building a slightly modified street motor for the soomn to be Hot Rod Edsel
Thanks for all input
