2.8 vs 3.1 vs fwd pistions
so i was curious to see how thick the piston tops were on the 2.8 and 3.1 pistons. the 2.8 are flat tops.while the 3.1/fwd are dished the fwd ones have almost dbl the dish depth
i dont have a fwd piston handy anyone else got on that is no good or something they can saw in half
im gonna saw one of the stock 2.8's and one of the 3.1 pistons in half tom to take a measurement but i already know the 2.8 piston has a thicker top and is also stronger in the top ring land cause of it.
ill post up the exact thicknesses tom
