Not sure about the "split" but be sure and check the number and
placement of the rings...when I described my pistons (two of
which had broken lands) to Ken of British Frame and Engine, telling
him that there was one ring BELOW the wrist pin ... he laughed,
then told me that what I had were Tractor Pistons, that were never
designed to go above 2500 RPM!!
