WHO MAKES FORGED PISTONS FOR THE KA24E? I can't find anything online.

Basically, anyone will make them for the right price. Might want to give Jim Wolf a Call and see what they say, I think Arias makes some, along with JE, which will run you some money.

FINALLY!!!!

Sometimes I can't even get logged in to answer you guys.

Anyway....I've got a set of 8.5:1 pistons made for me by JE Pistons. They came with the pistons(of course), rings, and pins..and they ran me right around 600 for the set, but I had to wait 5 weeks for them. I've got all the specs from the sheet they gave me if ya want them though.

if im building a ka24de safe for ~15-20 psi...do i only need the low compression pistons+rings+pins+head gaskets? any other things need to be done on the engine itself?

Have the crank checked and polished if needed, shot peen the rods (or just buy some forged rods), try to find ARP hardware (head and main studs). If you do find and use ARP main studs, I suggest an align hone to make sure the mains are straight. Have the block bored per piston (exact tolerances to your piston specs) and torque plate honed if possible. Forged pistons contract and expand a bit more than cast pistons and the torque plate ensures a better seal. Custom forged pistons tend to fit better than mass produced ones.

Hope this helps!
