[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 15941052, member: 7795"] Yes, stock Pistons and rings are fine at that level. The stock Mahle Pistons are the same design in CJs. JDM makes the rods that will work with the '13-14 spec pistons. Nobody likes to do it because of reusing the piston rings but Mahle themselves told me they could be reused if the engine and rings had no issues. I asked that other than keeping them in the same hole was anything else needed and he said even that wasn't necessary. So, yes it is possible to upgrade rods only on a functioning 5.8 engine and save money. I have a complete 5.8 shortblock if anyone is feeling froggy :) -J [/QUOTE]
