Rebirth part 2...

I have pistons.

It has been a long wait, but the engineering and time the guys at United Engine and Machine Company have put into the new Icon line of Subaru pistons is amazing. They are truly works of art and design. They are about 50grams lighter than stock and have a reinforced 2nd land complete with large accumulator groove.

I will take pictures later.

They are also going to be available in 5 sizes you and engine builders can actually use and maximize the life of your engine, not just 0.010" and 0.020" oversize.

With the hardness of the Subaru liners, my 100K mile motor easily honed out to just under the largest std. A piston size. No overbore required.

I'll post more in a review thread when I get a chance.

The block build up starts shortly.
