And I can't spell <<Ziegel..foust>>. Are you a VW, Mercedes or BMW guy? I had a Mercedes from when I was 19 to 23, then it blew up. I bought a '68 Chevy C/10 w/292, and I still have it.
Let's try: Hypereutectic... ? Let's call them ''Type H.''
Anyway, are you guys saying the Type-H pistons are as good as forged? Better bc cheaper, or lighter?
I'm not racing, just want a daily driver with a 20 year lifespan, and better thrust than stock.
Pipe dreams, like Lump Porting the Head and Turbocharging cross my thoughts occasionally. For now, I'm only planning ahead.
