>> Piston scuffing can be caused by lack of lubrication on the cylinder 
>> walls, especially at low rpm when using "steel" billet connecting rods 
>> that do not have any provision for oiling the cylinder walls at low rpm, 
>> as do the stock rods. We have seen this happen in 3 consecutive rebuilds 
>> of the same engine with 3 different makes of pistons, even with "coated" 
>> piston skirts. The fix was to modify the rods to squirt oil onto the
