    Found fix for #7 piston problem

    You guys won't believe how simple it is!







    Simply replace number seven piston with a forged one.

    Maybe a group buy?

    If ur worried about the rotating assembly being off balance simply replace #2 as well.

    Do it in the truck. Pull head and pan. I think 8 people would be a good start for a group buy. Since the forged piston or most likely heavier, just grind off some of the rod.

    there seems to be a lean issue on Piston number 7, i think its caused by the intake manifold. Allen might also be pulling our leg on this one not sure....
