Lovely write up. Unfortunately, it all flew over my head. Where the hell am I going to get all the equipment needed?

 

Tools like the DTI gauge and micrometers can be purchased from rswww.com, buck and hickman and Mitutoyo. Not cheap, but depends on what you want to do.

We are thinking piston rings in number 2and6 making nice holes in the side of the pistons the head needs work as well as one outlet valve is blown apart as well . Hopefully we can start the new engine build next week will be a very strong engine will be using some nice parts

Was it det or oil starvation? Something like that? Either of those it and doesn't matter what pistons you fit or how "strong" an engine is. Chances of two pistons failing in the same way at the same time due to manufacturing weaknesses are pretty slim I'd have thought, but a valve going as well means it can't be a piston problem.

I heard cp pistons have harder rings, no good for everyday use.

I've used CP pistons for many years, once of the best pistons I've used and I've tried most of them. Awesome strength and build construction and aftersales were always very good with me, doing anything custom I ever needed to be done.

 

I have tried wiseco and wossner, both seem to suffer from the same fault of skirt cracking under high load.
