Buick Electra v8 430cid bearings
I'm quite sure you will find considerable weight difference between a new and used piston.
A rebuild like this, I wouldn't have even started it if the customer was going to be cheap on it. It'* like putting one good pad and one bad pad on a set of brakes. It'* absolutely mind blowing.

You'll get your wish, one way or another.

Please keep us posted. I'm interested to see how this turns out.
So now, the end result is going to be, disappointment instead of accomplishment. The engine will fail, causing the rebuilder to think he had failed during the rebuild. The owner will certainly blame the rebuilder for the failure. In the long run, he will accomplish more by doing the right thing and declining doing the entire rebuild.
Yeah. but they will not blame me, i have made very clear that i am not the guy to be blamed.. But i have decided that i will measure piston carefully and compare, if there is big differences, i wont build the engine if i cant order new pistons..
Soooo, i measured old piston and the compression height is the same as new piston. 1,947" was on the old and thats the same as rockauto'* piston. I will weigh them when i get the new one.
(I also made myself clear for the fourth time that i am not to blame for the explosion of the engine after rebuild)
I have learned alot already just by reading these forums. I will post pics when i get all the parts and get to reassemble.
I declared yesterday 3 packets from USA that are in Finland now. Pretty fast, i ordered everything 6 days ago
