Have you got your cam yet? It's at least a 6 week wait for a custom billet grind. I could not get the cam I wanted out of an existing core.
I used aluminum rods (.300 thick at the top), but my pistons are kind of crazy looking, not conventional at all and I had to use buttons with SMALL pins!Did you get your pistons yet?Be sure to VERIFY the thickness at the center of the dish. I would not use less than .200 for the punishment you plan on putting it through and that is only if you are coating them! That is where I ran into problems but Arias got it right on the second 10. I have the cam. If I could only get a chassis to put it in......
