Ya know... if you shake 2-3 times when you're done, you won't trickle powder, right?

Surprisingly I only have a few hours in to this .
I want to get ahold of some more pistons now. Lol
I used a pencil to draw it out , then mauled it with drill bits and used a dremel and carbide bit for the detail work.
After that I wet sanded it with soapy 600 and 1000 grit paper and a light polish with Mothers.
Thanks

with all the 1.5 and 2.4 pistons we do, you could sell these at the county fair. ha ha

You could probably sell them here.....

Flip it over next time so I can have an ash tray.

I can check my stash, may have some big block mopar pistons sitting around. May also have some YUGE CAT and Cummins pistons some place!

@kod38 I've got a handful of interesting pistons I'd be willing to negotiate your ownership.
Let me know if you're interested.

Personally, I like to keep MY pistons in their cylinders.

 

[kod38]

Piston number 2 .
1.4l Chevy Cruze , these have shorter skirts.

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

the broken ring lands definately add to the character
