I would be leary. You can not return them or if you have a problem who takes care of you. What if they are for a different length rod?
I would rather buy from a source that will take care of you after you have a problem.

I'd never buy pistons from anyone but the manufacturer or an authorized dealer; where do you go if you have a problem? :thumbs:

Look up the price on Summit, look at the specs if you can find them. If you block is already machined talk to machinst about the clearance issues with the coating on the skirts, other wise they are good pistons, just bought a set of the forged ones. If you are saving a few bucks and you can use them why not buy them they are new. :D
