Been running these in my car for 22k miles. So far, no oil consumption and no issues.

New case halves. BBBB
Manley B-graded drop ins with total seal
Eagle H-beam rods
King bearings
OEM 2012 STi crank

Car is making ~500 whp on high boost, and ~420 on normal boost. E85 mostly.

Has anyone had any luck putting graded forgers into a used block that has just been honed?

I would not do that, they are noisy enough with a new block.

They make a 99.55, but most used blocks should really go to 99.75 off you want a nice square bore and run tighter PTW. You'll see this once torque plates are installed.

that's pretty much it in a nutshell

99.55 requires the bore to go from 3.9179 factory to 3.9192-3.9200 depending on desired piston to wall, they are NOT and could never be drop-ins.

Additionally they ship with 99.50 Total Seal rings which out of the box have first and second ring gaps in the .021-.026 range in the 3.9200 bore, which in my opinion is too loose for a non-race engine, and the oil rail gaps are huge if you care about those.

I just did this and I ended up getting them to work by buying a 99.75 set of the same rings and mix-n-matching to gap them to .018/.019 first and .025/.026 second.

Highly would not recommend, do drop-ins and wait to blow a head gasket or spin a rod bearing, or properly hone to 99.75 and buy those.

We are talking about grade A and B drop ins. Pretty sure these are made specifically to drop in without boring?

Rideit636 brought up 99.55, and yes the rest of the thread is about the graded A/B pistons that fit stock bores.

Rewind. I never said they could be dropped in. I'm saying they are the smallest useable size on a seasoned case. They'll obviosuly require honing. But that's the point. You can't just seat new rings on a worn crosshatching. Drop-in's are for a new case. And yeah. Those gaps put of the box do suck. Your second ring is still on the loose side IMO.

Default Review

I’ve been running these pistons for two years now.. no issues. They chatter a bit on start, but my block has a lot of miles on it. Haven’t had it tuned since the rebuild. But it was dyno’d at 282whp and 295lb’ at the wheels with 11psi. I don’t regret getting these compared to getting the block machined for other pistons and still having cold start noise.. once they warm up it’s quiet and runs great.

Default Manley 99.50A and 99.50B Pistons

If IAG puts drop in pistons in, I am sure they’re fine on a NEW block. They actually use JE I think.
