[QUOTE="badcobra, post: 16687895, member: 20798"] If I am tearing the engine down and honing cylinders, last thing I would ever do is put stock pistons back in. The skirts on stock pistons are paper thin and they are very low compression. The other consideration is, after all those heat cycles, the pistons have differing diameters, meaning each piston will measure different requiring you to have to hone each cylinder accordingly to hit target ptw clearance. While the '03/04 Cobra OEM piston was a decent offering, it was a mass produced part and the cheapest Ford could find to do the job. [/QUOTE]
