    I don't believe K1 makes pistons. They make rods for our application and cranks for others. They are affiliated with Wiesco. I'd have to check the Wiesco catalog to see if the have a off the shelf piston for a Buick. I'd recommend JE pistons myself. That's what I've used and had good success over the years.

    If they are wisecos, go for it. I have been beating on my wisecos for 5+ years now.

    There have been some problems with Diamond pistons. Do a search and see what you find. If you have any more questions contact Lonnie Diers and he can share his experiences with you.
