Chris, if those guys are that worried about the piston rocking they should just have custom pistons made with actual skirts. Then no more need to worry at all. LOL.

Hey Jeremy...what's up?! Real skirts would be nice, but will they clear the counterweights of the crank at BDC? I guess you could trim the counterweights, but now you're into machine work that HAS to be done right=$$$

With the money that a strong good step over stock rebuild just cost me I wish I could have afforded to do a few extra steps. LOL. To Overkill, I would also suggest to go with the stock size pins. I have been messing with FWD Mopars (although I just got back to TD's) for sometime myself and not had a problem with a stock pin failing. Before I sold it my old Lebaron was pushing 20psi for three years on a 120k miles long block with no failures.

I didn't know what size pins ROSS used, so it's .912? Wiseco's are the best bang for the buck, $425 with rings. ROSS are 450 and I don't think that includes rings but I could be wrong. BUT with the ROSS's you have to get your rods re-sized and that just ups the cost.
