Pretty extreme all right...
Xtremarine,
3%, huh? Well, that should fairly well end this thread. Most stock cast pistons are around 17-22% Si, and the 30% Si material that I and Ranjit Phelan/Paul Stirton are using has proven itself time and again to be the material of choice for our piston application.
BTW,
I don't maintain a habit of stomping on someone else's "For Sale" thread (in fact, I think everyone knows my general position on the matter), but turn-around is fair play...........
Thanks. Brad.

Extremarine,So brad if you lose a race (not that a god like you would) look at the winning boat and just wonder is that really a 7.5cc~~~~~~~or a 3hp 7.8..
:lol: And I get beat too, and so does Dave, and Jimmy does not always get 32K plus out of his bar stock 90's, but we all know what is needed to build good Pistons.Extremarine,So brad if you lose a race (not that a god like you would) look at the winning boat and just wonder is that really a 7.5cc~~~~~~~or a 3hp 7.8..
A wll tuned NovaRossi 21LS (3.5cc) puts out almost 3HP, some maybe more. I can point you toward a shop FULL of nearly 6HP Picco Blackhead 45's (7.5cc). Don't get too proud.........
BTW, I'm no god, here or anywhere. I get beat quite often. I win a few along the way, too. In fact, I've beaten a few I didn't think I could.
Thanks. Brad.

Some good advice on a non-racing racer. :lol: :lol: :lol:I see i dont fit in this forum....
But then again why do I waste me time talking to a bunch of dreamers and wanna be Metallurgy.. I know my business. not like you basement wanna be's with your coffee can dyno's
get a book on metallurgy.....atleast

I have a good friend who manufactures Aftermarket Racing pistons for most racing engines (Chevy Ford and so on.) I visit his shop often. He uses 2618. This is strong stuff and works well in those applications, but they require hugh amounts of clearence to work. He even has a set in his Ford Bronco (daily driver) but it takes 30 mins. of run time before the noise from piston slap becomes minimal.I see i dont fit in this forum..Extremarine,So brad if you lose a race (not that a god like you would) look at the winning boat and just wonder is that really a 7.5cc~~~~~~~or a 3hp 7.8..

I just make good quailty piston and sleeves never had a complaint.. Aircraft quality alum. w low Si take the cold to hot then to cold better without getting brittle.. maybe why NASa uses it among serious race car drivers..2618 (less than 0.25 percent), which reduces thermal expansion, improves lubricity and scuff resistance. The 3100 and theT61 alloy, by comparison, is a low silicon alloy so it has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion and much more tendency to scuff. But it is about a 10-15 percent stronger material and is typically the alloy of choice for serious racing, marine engines, and boosted and bottle-fed engines that produce a lot of heat in the combustion chamber. However, these pistons are not to be used for street or mild racing applications where they won't be replaced routinely.

its a new web site it under construction you guys are rough Im not scamming people just trying to help out the old K&B guys thats it ... and im just getting smack down left and right . I asked if they could take down this topic..Joe
Sounds to me that Xtremarine behind a deck person. I bet he doe's not run his own pistons.
My .002 cents
No Cliques here! We always welcome new guys AND we always look out for the best interest of new guys because it is important to our hobby.its a new web site it under construction you guys are rough Im not scamming people just trying to help out the old K&B guys thats it ... and im just getting smack down left and right there going to take this topic down by my request..Joe
