Just wondered if anyone has had any issues using Sports Parts inc pistons that Royal Distributing sells I assume they are offshore?
I just acquired a 1990 Safari LXE with a 447 that has one scored piston I assume either the crank seal leaked or a plugged pilot jet caused it The mag side is fine I have never used these pistons before (or even heard of them so I am a little timid) This machine has 238 km's on it and the cylinder is still standard size and fine thanks in advance

There is really only ( I believe ) two different offshore manufactures of these pistons, many brands to choose from but they are all the same.
	Just Doo it

Make sure you address the issue that caused the original pistons to fail or any replacement pistons are doomed to fail.
