Has anyone ever had a set of forged pistons made for a 6.2 or 6.5? I'm going to call Ross later today to see if it is something they would do. Just wondering if it's already been done by someone else.

I called Ross and they will indeed make a one-off set of pistons (forged, anodized, and he might have said coated- my hearing is not fantastic).
NOT cheap, but I've had pistons custom made for tractors before and I knew it wouldn't be.

I wonder if they would have the steel reenforced ring land?

Wanting to do the diamondeze coating/ treatment on the regular pistons got shot down because of the steel ring lands.
Without steel, get them diamondeyze.
The concern is the rings without the steel…

Didn't think to ask. I have some different ideas for building an engine, and I'm just starting to test my theories. One thing I don't want to deal with again is cracked pistons (or a cracked block). Since a P400 is out of the question, a different approach will have to be taken.
Here is a 660 6.2 I picked up Wed. Ugly as it is, it's loose.
