Spare parts single 318 turbo build
Compared the weight of the replacement pistons to the originals to see if it's drastically different. The new pistons are a little heavier I think mostly due to the taller compression height. The old pistons would have been almost .120" below the deck! Wow. I'm not going to bother with a balance being only 5 ish% heavier. I've run pistons 7-8% heavier and lighter in other engines without any negatives.
Rods are also out of the engine the crank is from. They are bushed skinny rods with no oil hole. Weird.
