41/53dodges Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 there was a thread awhile back where somebody had some special pistons made, they had some black on em' if i remember correctly, made for performance. kinda vague, but i cant think of more details now... Quote
martybose Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Don't know about any that were black, but I had Venolia make some forged pistons for my overbored 230 that were gorgeous. I just sent them a stock piston, a bore diameter, some thoughts on wristpins, and a set of rings that I wanted to use, and was very pleased with the results. Marty Quote
james49ply Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 newer cars have the black on the piston skirts, this is a coating similar to the non-stick on cooking pans, keeps the pistons from slapping, they installed them on my 2001 chevy because of piston slap Quote
