These pictures are from a set of pistons straight out of my Mattituck / ECI engine. The cylinders are being replaced at 347 hrs TTIS due to the AD. On a whim I decided to throw them on the scales I keep in the hanger. The pistons are as removed, with the rings still on and the piston pins in.
I'm pretty impressed the ECI logo in black paint is still visible on the piston wall. Sure makes you appreciate why reducing RPM results in better fuel efficiency with the inertia in these big pistons.
Cylinder 1 & 2
Cylinder 3 & 4
