Pist-ons

[Slyclone]

So i been real hype about my "package" - finally got it.

I open it up and start looking things over, I purchase a oil pump, that looks nothing like what picture shows.

Open up first piston inside nice tightly wrapped plastic and packing foam. twirl around in light and there is a imperfection which i am really not happy with.

Now i know im most likely going to get a song and a dance about it, As far as JE or SRP packed them. SO like i feel like im not going to get a "good piston " out of it.


this is a small blemish on the land of a compression ring. looks like a small divit or a impact of some sort.

I was completely Neurotic about the package thing and now im faced with this damaged piston. Real hard to believe it came to me like this when there should have been some sort of quality control

Now if you look closely you can see the blemish.

Im not competely sure if its a "big deal" but to me it is.

Re: Pist-ons

Call them and arrange to send it back. I am not sure if it really matters(build wise) but you paid money for a product and you are not happy with the produced product. It is your right to be happy.

Re: Pist-ons

Im probably going to ship it all back becasue Im not happy. 5 out of 6 are good. Oh and file it???

Thats totally out of the question becasue its a DIVIT. it goes IN does not pertrude out at all. It looks like a impact. Right on the land of the compression ring.

I have to agree with this. It's a weakspot on an otherwise good piston. Even if an issue never arises, you will always worry about it. F that, send it back.
