cant you get pistons in .068 over? That would save a bit of cylinder wall thickness.

Not for a 348,unless they're cu$tom,Brian.

There are worse things to have on the brain,if one has one!

I bead blasted a zillion pistons over the years. As above tape off the ring lands and media blast away. The nice grey color is a bit of a tuneing tool as well.

Pistons can be made any size. Rings to fit are another story.
