With respect,Mark, pistons that have a .004 to.006" indent from having had
head contact are <not> ok :-)Nor would I really like to say that the rods from
these slugs were ok ,either.
If you are replacing all you quote in your list,I would be inclined to go
the extra mile and change the rods and pistons completely.
