sooooo Houston, Novarossi team piston.. it's like all hemispherical or whatever, the top isn't flat, right? But the cheaper cast piston, appears to be flat?

How much of a difference in performance would you say the team piston makes, as compared to the cheaper cast flat one?

Indeed yet another one of my moments,

Just don't come to expect them, I'm running low already and still have a couple of weeks left in the month. LOL.

Not much. The cast one is actually lighter. However, I can tell you from onroad use that the cast ones are not as durable. I have a nicely broken one floating around here somewhere. Seem to hold up fine for offroad though.

i would highly recommend getting a silicone filled crank and a bench break in or ready 2 race break in over a modification but it is your decision

new engine or?
