Jim C yes 80 series .

How do I contact Jim C on this forum

JE or Ross. Doubt they’re off the shelf though.

Why forged? I’d worry about the 4 main bearing crank if you’re running enough boost to need forged pistons...

Just building a stock engine but with a higher level of component quality, durability and precision.

It’s made a difference on other vehicles I have done it to. I’ve used JE with Carrilo rods and had great and noticeable results. Just checking if there are other sources already producing for the 2F

Thanks for the concern Brett

You guys talking about FJ40Jim/Jim Chenoweth AKA Jim C the carb guy?

 

[bobm]

Not sure. I bought some electrical for my 80 off a Jim C. Thought that was him. Dunno don't remember

Justin at Redline Landcruiser mentioned a Jim C on Mud may have a connection to forged piston.

Only one way to find out. @FJ40Jim are you the guy that can get 2F forged pistons?

 

[Gordobe]

That was way to simple.

Thanks Jim

Yes, the forged pistons are back in stock.
Hold on while I find the thread with details...

Same specks as before? Oversized? 8.2 compression?
