After about 200k on the stock bores its tarting to use a little oil.... So I plan to build a 10:1 306 with my spair shortblock. Im running heads with 60cc chambers. Im looking for a forged piston that is readily available and would hold up to a little spray in the future. Whats available and what do you guys reccomend?

Well most flat tops are only going to get you in the 9.5:1 range with a "0" deck block, so if you want more then that you'll have to go with a dome.

I like and build a lot with the Probe SRS Series pistons and have nothing but good things to say about them.

Probe's dome 10466-030 will get you in the 10.8-9 range, other wise you'll want the flat top 10682-030. This was all assuming you have an inline valve head, if you have a TFS TW you'll need a different dome PT#.

If I can help let me know,

Rick
