Which one did you copy paste from HB or Dougs :comp :D  How the hell do ya measure the dome and can I not match the weight to one of the other piston rod assmblies :stupid

How do ya tell if its cast or forged?

Doesn't the GM make it OEM?

What, you don't have a graduated cylinder and plate to do a CC measurment??? :D  

Since they are flat tops, I wouldn't think that the valve reliefs are more than a few CC's worth of volume.

Ok just took another look, you don't have a dome, never seen those before, they may be a truck piston :stupid That is cast for sure but the easy way to tell is a cast piston has a metal support in the casting aroung the wrist pin, a forged don't, not to mention a cast piston looks like shit, :laugh You can match the weight but you will have to take a piston off one of the other rods to do that!.. I'd take one over to Larry and see if he knows what it is, he deals with that stuff on a daily basis, I'm sure he's seen those before, I just use normal stuff!. :D I know what I would do though!.. :)  :D

I went out and looked at the piston and I see some sort of plate but it runs parallel to the ring lands right about at the oil ring area. I don't see anything around the wrist pin area. I seem to remember those metal plates having a hole or round part that went around the wrist pin :stupid

This is a cast piston out of the 40 over block. The piston I'm chasing doesn't seem to be similar.

Hey Art is that a pic of one of Kevins pistons?That doesn't even look like a true flat top.It looks like it has a small dish.If so he needs to make sure he gets the same cc dish.

Yep that is cast, you can also tell by the casting lines!.. The one you're looking for is from a different MFG that's why it don't look the same!..
