Re: 273 Swapping Sides on Pistons

[Dodger7998@xxxxxxx]

I have to agree with you because the cylinder is the same angle from the  
crank on either bank,,,,,I will check, but doubt that the article goes into  
that, should be a given and just naturally understood,,,,,,,, smile ask them 
 when was the last time they bought a set of pistons that was specifically  
numbered as to which cylinder they were suppose to be in

Over  there, they're talking about doing it with the Commando domed 
pistons, 
so  you have to rotate the piston/rod assembly when you swap banks so the 
dome  doesn't hit the head. What I'm saying is that you dont get the offset 
 
advantage by doing that
