510 +Procharged...love it Jon

so whats the spec on those pistons teflon coated ??

Turnip · Post by **Turnip** » Wed Dec 05, 12 11:46 am

Pete, hopefully be out with the procharged one at easter

Steve, they were custom made by Diamond with a Hard Anodize on the pistons rather than the thermal coatings. The small end of the rod interfered with the 50CC dish so they had to do a custom milling procedure to clearance the bottom of the pistons and also needed support rails for the oil rings.

Has anyone got a transparent block I can use??

I thought you made the last one transparent?
