What pistons did you run in the chrome cylinders and what did you run in the steel sleeved cylinder? Cast or forged pistons? I was told to watch mixing the types between the two cylinder types, exception being my bp might be nikasil ( haven't pulled the good head to check)

im running art pistons in the 5 chrome bores and cv tech supplied a wsm piston when they did the sleeve.

Were you able to tell if they were cast or forged? I'm not sure what I'd be best to run in the bp. Ill pull the head on Friday when I get home to check if the good side has been sleeved.

ART and the WSM pistons are both cast..

Boomer, is this why you didn't show up to finish off your 3rd final and last snowmobile in the field day?
And what are you putting this new merc on?
