    Piston brand

    Has anyone tried the Athena piston kits? If so, how did you like them? How do they compare to other pistons?

    Thats high priced to me, especially for a no name kit. I have a new Wiseco 10.25:1 kit that i'll sell if you need it.
    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.

    I like Athena kits, they seem to really hold up. I wish ART was still around, they made great pistons.
    Wiseco is my current pick due to wide availability.

    Athena pistons are top of the line. Not a week goes by where I don't install one in somebody's machine. So far we have had no failures. On a side note, there is another German company called Wossner that makes a very high quality and precise piston for the 85-86 R. I have one in mine. In my professional opinion these two companies produce a piston superior to a Wiseco.
