Thanks...I was planing to replace the pistons in any event. I just returned from taking the block in and they concur with o/s pistons and bore where needed. As far as the different pre chambers you mentioned I would assume if the new o/s pistons have the same configuration on top (I think I have seen the others, they definitely look different??) they would go with the pre chambers I have. I had the head magna fluxed and they said the pre chambers looked good but not pull them, maybe I should have had them do that. Also is it standard practice to replace those little ball bearings and flush out all the oil galleries in the block ?

This engine was ran out of oil by the PO and a couple of journals and the side of a rod was damaged so thats why I am going for new pistons. I am really enjoying learning about these engines and really appreciate the input from you folks.
