[Healeys] Pistons

[goldengt]

I think my JE forged was a good choice after two rebuilds due to melted pistons over the years. Ken Freese

Thinking about which pistons to buy form my BJ8 rebuild.  'Generic' sets run about $400 and look OK--as if you can tell by looking at pictures--and the top-of the line appear to be Denis Welch's forged pistons (at nearly a grand$).  Are the forged ones worth it?  Also, most 'stock' sets are 5-riing, and the DWR are 3.  Obviously, the 3-ring would have less friction/drag than the 5-ring, but would the difference be significant in a mostly stock street car?

Also, any recommendations on brands or suppliers?
TIA,Bob
