I would have gotten a livernois set up but unfortunately I didn't budget for this, this soon. I have an account with stage 3 so it was my only option

Livernois quoted me 26k for built block using mine, ported heads, meth, gears. Few people seen the quote and laughed.

lol At that wnt2. do you guys have any decent machine shops around you guys?
to balance your factory cranks it is only like 200-250, machine work from a machine shop to do the block 250-300, and when putting it all back together the specs are all online.. it is actually pretty simple stuff to do! it would save anyone with mechanical skill and a basic set of tools and feeler gauges a few thousand dollars!


bullet I wouldn't get mad if you can't use that setup!!! like I was stating earlier, If your motor didn't have issues than yes it would have been probably done with a light hand hone, and hopefully there was no scoring of your cylinder walls with a cracked or broken piston or ring, but if any machine work has to be done than it is going to be hard to get the pistons to fit properly with the factory boss rings! the livernoise rotating assembly is only 1199 for the piston and rods (un coated) and 130 for the clevite rod and main bearings. and it's a hell of a lot better than the Mahle boss stuff.

As I could do a lot or most of work myself. I simply don't have the time. 12 hour days insctructing privates gets old. Plus dont have garage here like did in ny own home in tx.

I teach rebuild of these.

Call them.. They sell the kit with no coating on the pistons for 1199.99 the rods are the same though!
I would always recommend people call these companies, there is deals to be had or parts that are not always on a site!! and voice to voice calling will always get you answers faster and more accurate than email's or forums!

What's the coating for? So if my block is slightly damaged I can still use these?

The coating just helps dissipate heat on High HP apps.. 800+ rwhp apps

Like Said before also.. the std size and bore on those boss Pistons are going to be 3.360.. Same as a stock GT bore and piston size. If your block was taken apart in excellent running and operating condition than yea.

Now any aftermarket piston std bore is going to be A 3.362-3.363 (.002-.003) over bore size.. So IF you scored the piston Wall (hope you Didn't) you can Probably use the boss stuff if you can just do a Hand Hone which is nothing more than basically cleaning the cylinder walls. If not no you will have to at least use a Std size Aftermarket piston (if you can only do A .002-.003) over bore hone job. And if not than a .005-.020 bore sizing can be used?

Hopefully this helps you understand some about the block and sizes of pistons

I only posted the LED pics as some CS owners considering the Paxton were looking for an alternative to custom tubing. In my case daytime running lights are required so I needed a replacement. I like them and that's all that matters.

You are right about that, but we just expressed our opinion. No need to get offended. If you like them, that's all that matters.
