A drilled piston will have slightly smaller holes (more pack/stiffer) than a stock/molded piston. To make a drilled 54 piston you need to take a piston with smaller holes (55 or 56) and use a #54 drill bit to drill all 6 holes to a 54 size. To make a drilled 55 piston you need a 56 piston, then drill it's holes out with a #56 bit to get a drilled 55 piston.
Is there an oil thats preatty much standard also?
