Nice to know what they actually are Stroker. I have read a number of threads on the net and have not heard of any issue with these pistons.

Exactly...

But also good to hear no one has had a problem, however the fact they failed final QC is worrying isnt it?

when they first started doing the Kawi H1 pistons the wrist pin position was about 1 mm to high or low cant remember .
but they sorted it out and are correct now.
but there was a stink about it.
