ebay is a sinking ship, real bad

what did you go with and was this a 383 or 440? I have a 66 383 +30 and am wondering if the stealth heads will clear the walls and the pistons as they are flat

wow this guy blocked me for asking to make the pistons survive shipping and to verify the box is sealed. lol

thats how they match the weight. they mill it down. yours looks like normal like 5 of my pistons that matched. the other 3 oddballs they machined down more and the little dot was gone.

well I sent them back today. ebay gave a shipping label. I am very discouraged now and feel like just getting silvo lite 1271, put the engine back together and drive it. Really took the wind out of my sails...

Then I get to deal with summit. at least ebay I get all my money back. These are supposed to be brand new. I live in Canada BTW

They came is a retail box BUT the code on the box is 23172 so the pistons should be 23172-pa11-* So not the original box. It was not taped closed and no dividers for the 4 middle pistons in the box. You can see where the pistons have impacted the box multiple times then that box was in a huge...

We'll see what happens but it should be factory sealed sets. I cant see the factory putting 3 different serials in 1 box. actually looking closer, 4 different pistons. I would say 4 of these are from another set or sets. 23170-PA11-C 23170-PA11-B 23166-PA11-C 23169-PA11-A I would guess A B C...

they are supposed to be factory sealed set of 8 matched pistons. I even asked if they are for sure sealed and they said it was. I'm not buying it. The seal was broke on the factory box. maybe shipping did it? who knows. I'm gonna complain and if I buy another set somewhere else I want them to...

ok but should they all have the same serial number? is it normal to see some handling defects? Last time I had new pistons in my hands was 1993 I will contact them but I just need to be sure of what I'm seeing here

ebay

I just got these in the mail. The sealed power box seal was broken and some pistons dont have matched serial numbers. Almost all the pistons are dented or have a gouge and the 3 pistons that are odd serial numbered have a different machined surface on the bottom of the pin shoulders. Is this...

usually something in the ignition. points, loose nuts on the coil wire, loose connection on the ballast resistor, maybe the ballast resistor is going. loose plug on the ignition switch. crusty fuse...or maybe floats are too high? if the idle mixture dont do much the butterflies might be too far...

for sure I would even go 440 but theres not alot around here anymore. I think I will go with the 516's with 1.74 and some head work. The machine shop said I could go 500-510 lift without reliefs. The jury is still out on the heads though. for now the long block will be the main focus I guess

flat or reliefs?

thanks for the reply. I got the speed pro L-2315NF 30 pistons. what did you use? thanks

I may get the 516 heads done with 1.74 exhaust, is it worth it to go bigger? What can the bore take before it needs to be clearanced on the sides? Will stealth heads fit a 383? Also anyone know how much lift or valve size to start worrying about valve reliefs in the piston? thanks

true mine was the worst I seen
