I had a Choice when I ordered them ... I could have bought four extra of
each set.... but opted for a set of Plug domes for the Rodeck....
there is a company in Okalahoma city ( not sure exactly but I think that is
right ) called Rebco.... and they digitize your heads and make pistons to
match your chambers... I bought the extra pistons for the Rodeck to have
them done this winter... The shame of it is that your exactly right had I
an extra Piston ... I might have saved my week at Bville.... and Yeah...
Dave asked the question... He was out there building me a shopping list of
Real Racer Tools and Parts... Geez he wants me to own a Leak down tester and
a Valve Spring Tester..... What Nerve..LOL oh and an extra couple of
pistons and a Cylinder hone.... will the guy ever be satisfied?
Next thing you know he will want me to build a Pointy Car that Goes FAST....
Keith (barrowed two compression testors out there... both were broken...
couldn't get any compression out of either of them on that #2 cylinder
hmmm )
