Go down to the Terry Piston post. Those are my old pistons. Did I do a complete rebuild - no, didn't even bore the cylinders, not needed. All other parts were ok. Valves don't leak, I have good oil pressure, why do a complete rebuild when it's not needed. All I did was pull the head, pan, water pump to replace the distribution tube. The only other thing I did was repair a higher compression head that had a bad spark plug seat and crack in the number two chamber, resurfaced it using a drill and disk sander and stuck it on. I only do what the truck needs. I like to get the most out of the parts I guess.
