Oh yeah, I always look at new pistons when doing a rebuild just in case. Rock has some good prices on OEM replacements (although they show one "set" for $24.79 which I find a little hard to believe). Since this rebuild is for a daily driver car I didn't look into performance or flat top pistons. Plus the block had little to no ridge so when I checked ring end gaps they were close to the large end of the spec, but with tolerance. Had this been a performance rebuild I would have bored it to gain a little extra and to insure a straighter bore and tighter ring tolerances. I've looked into forged pistons for my B6ME project but I haven't found much offered. I was thinking of possibly trying to find some forged ones from a B6T. All the used B6T ones I've come across have been in the range of $400 and new ones were $500+ :angry7:
I didn't check deck height, but since I don't have the head installed yet I can get a measurement for you. :thumbright:
