Subject:      Cofab Pistons Any Good?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes


So I am looking for pistons for my rebuild. I really don't want to
spend a fortune on the Mahle German units. The Cofabs are half the
price and I have heard that Boston Bob used them for some time.


Is there any horrible reason not to use this product?


Are the rings that it comes with ok or should I use another brand?
Like Grant, or Deves?


I know that these pistons are down 1mm in deck height,  but from what
I understand it will not kill engine performance. It may allow the
engine to run a little cooler from what I am hearing from multiple
sources. I did find someone who makes specialized rods to lengthen it
just enough but they seem sort of experimental to me.
