I ran JE SRPs in my 505 blown alky.

That motor made 1200 crank HP. The tune was always safe, but the pistons had a bit of skirt rash on them for unknown reasons.

For my current 568, I went with Diamond pistons, and couldn't be happier. After 6 runs at 1600+ crank HP, the bearings and pistons look absolutely perfect, like they've never been run.

When the pistons arrived, I was even hesitant to use them. They looked more like works of art rather than something that would be installed in an engine.

Price was about 1200.00 for a set of custom pistons with 1.094 pins, pin buttons, rings, and 12 gas ports, using a .043.-043-1/16 ring pack.

Did any of you check the pin clearance on your JE pistons?

It's an old post, but, worth reading...

pistons
 
so for my application it looks like these pistons should be sufficient?

I have used Ross, Arias, CP, SRP & JE. I usually use JE in all my personal projects, but I like the results that I am seeing with Diamond pistons.

Can't say I had any problems with any of the manufactures, but about 10 years ago I was noticing the same result with the Ross pistons that OneBad was noticing with the JE's.

For the last 5 years I have cool coated every set of JE pistons I have ordered. They are all still running in the motors they were built for.

Good luck with your JE's and have fun racing....
