Those very nice Venolias are sitting on my shelf, having been replaced by
Wiseco 87mm pistons. One of the other sets of Venolias are in the uncle
jack special. I switched to the Wiseco's because I had a set of total seal
piston rings that would fit the Wiseco but not the Venolia pistons, and
needed to replace the rings since I had the engine apart. So, both Venolia
and Wiseco have made 87 mm pistons in the fairly recent past.
