How does it make him correct?
That's the point, they are irrelevant.

IMO the Roadkill guys are so much more credible than funcle bony.
As far as reading in the mopar engine book there have been a few discussions about the discrepancies in there also.
If opinions didn't chang with time and knowledge, the offset piston swap started in the 50s, we would still be driving horse and buggies.
Ok dose the OEM still offset piston pins?Well, actually we do still have them.... Still irrelevant....

you keep saying, "what could it hurt?" I believe it was stated earlier that the MOPAR racing manual, warned it would cause extra wear to the cylinder and piston.See, this is why I love this site. I appreciate to no end that you are NOT taking what I say as any kind of attack at you and finally someone offers some "common sense" reasoning why it might be a problem with the rings.
However, there is still no proof shown it's harmful or causes problems with ring seal. I can certainly see it as a potential problem, no doubt, but we also need to look at the direction of travel and the direction of the side load during the rotation.
Again, I never said it was better than a centered pin, ever. What I DID say, was that in a vacuum, with no "better" pistons available, how can it hurt? And from a common sense point of view, ANY reduction in side load, should result in allow more "available" power to be realized.
Your response with regard to ring seal is the "closest" anyone here on all of these fricking bash session threads, has come to something that actually is believable from a "common sense" approach.
So, again, I'll say thanks for actually keeping your cool and coming up with a logical possibility. Do I believe it? Dunno, above my pay grade.
good question, but I believe they commonly coat the piston skirts with low friction material, now.Ok dose the OEM still offset piston pins?

I think our former president, Dump, was wont to say, "what have you got to lose" when he was talking about unproven, not recommended Internet promoted treatments for covid.
If you buy a set of pistons for an oem rebuild, and the OEM required offset Pistons, then yes. This is already been answeredOk dose the OEM still offset piston pins?
Also, if you're trying to get more power out of your engine by doing something like this, you probably don't give a crap about the additional wearyou keep saying, "what could it hurt?"

Your head is thick, new oem engine's as in a 2021 hemi.If you buy a set of pistons for an oem rebuild, and the OEM required offset Pistons, then yes. This is already been answered
Do you even know what OEM means? If I buy an oem spec piston for a 1969 340, guess what?Your head is thick, new oem engine's as in a 2021 hemi.
I'm noticing an unbelievable amount of proof in your post. AwesomeOld wives tales. Flip the breather lid over and let the carb such more air!!! More HP? Maybe. Sounds cool? Yes! lol
Poor ole Uncle Tony. FABO's kickdog. Ha BUt I bet some of his"stuff" adds to his viewer list maybe!? Dunno.
He can't be totally stupid, he left what? NY or SOMEWHERE up there and moved South!! lol
What I have said repeatedly is it is a complete waste of time, and I have also said a hundred times there is more horsepower in a straight and round cylinder than any of this pin offset nonsense. The UTG fanbase seems to get "triggered" if you disagree with him. He is not a engine builder, he is a video maker.....keep in mind, with all of his expertise and "tricks" he has a full gutted race car that traps in the 70 mph zone in the 1/8th mile. It's all gimmicks for the fanboysThat's a fair statement. I guess we should not believe the mopar or ford people. Ok...
Bottom line, is there are a ton or people saying he's wrong. If you don't believe it, and are gonna talk ****, and claim otherwise, then you have the burden of proof to provide.
That's not what happens around here though....

Why should the burden of proof be on people who disagree about the claim? UTG is the one putting a 50 year old "speed secret" on YouTube, claiming he does it on his builds because it helps....seems to me, HE is the one who should prove it. None of the rest of us has made any money off claiming things on YouTubeWell you have it wrong. I'm not "triggered" one but. I want proof when someone claims someone is wrong.
No one has argued against a straight and true cylinder, ever. I agree with that 100%, but prove there is NO benefit to swapping an OEM piston.... that has an offset.....

What "garbage" are you saying I'm spewing?He says one thing, you say he's wrong. If you're not right, or can't/won't prove it, then you can't say he's wrong. If you're going to spout garbage in the same way you say he is, then prove it. Or at least have the balls to say you can't and it's only you're opinion.

I'm starting think your last name might be defeoGarbage as in anything that's not even remotely talking about the topic.
