Here are the pics of the new LBZ pistons.

These pistons are oversized LBZ slugs. They were modified by fly cutting tops to achieve the desired clearances and to get the comp. ratio to 14:1. They were also ceramic coated. The pistons were modified by Guy Tripp @ SoCal Diesel. And as usual the end result was nothing other than perfect!

Thanks goes out to Guy as he was under the gun to have them ready and they arrived right on time to Merchants door.:hail:

Nasty Girl is now a 6.7L :horsey:

Long block will be complete Monday and in the truck hopefully by Tuesday. Rest will be assembled hopefully by Wed/ Thursday Morning. Testing and tuning will be done by Tony (GMC 2002 Dmax) and Guy Tripp in Danville Friday to prepare for the Dyno Event.:D

Finally good to meet Keith, we've talked for nearly a year on the phone, but its always nice to meet a good customer face to face. The pistons look very good. Unfortunatly, we didnt have the equipment in house to be able to perform the operations and when the pistons came in, we still didnt really know what operation we were going to do for compression adjustment and valve relief. After consultation with many, Keith, Guy and myself thought this to be a good way as it allowed for valve clearance and also put us at the target compression ratio.
