Pistons - JE, Mahle, Weisco???

[Craig!]

Does anyone have any preferences as to what pistons to run, are there any horror stories about any makes any good points and bad points about one another??

I've been looking at a set of 82mm 9:5:1 JE's with the ceramic coating on the crown, or a set of similar Mahle pistons, just after a bit of advice before spunking money on the wrong ones.

The JE's with the thermal coated crowns and Teflon coated skirts works very well. They hold up just as well as a set of Mahle, if not better than them. They are built to withstand higher horse power and have extra features that a Mahle doesn't come with, as they are intended for "stock" applications, unless they are the Motorsport piece.

Hi Rodney good to see you on the forum mate, I have to say that Rodney has been a great help with buying parts in the past and he has saved me an absolute mint.
