Never had an issue with aftermarket piston. Note - no matter which one you choose AM or OEM don't buy until you have measured the bore of the cylinder and know what size piston you need. Take your new piston with to the machinist so that he can match the bore to the new piston. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
