One year of all my "freetime" was biggest expense. Very nice slugs Gus. Venolia is top notch, far Superior to Superior. I talked w ROSS years ago but they wanted a large order so never pursued. I have had OK luck with the eastern stuff but no match for Venolia's quality forged pistons. Nor have I tried racing or pushing the limits of the cast Eastern pistons. The 1956 KHKR 61.5" K is a torque monster not to be pushed past 3500. Tallest gearing available is a must. Sportster primary included w 33 teeth. I used T&O Wheels, surprise, S&S Supreme Rods, made taller Valve Covers, Stroker Plates, Andrews Gears & Shafts, cut down Piston skirts, stock Intake, lots of case/rod relieving. .090" clearance everywhere. Balanced at 56% 3,000 rpm. M53A1 works great. Sold in 2001 to a fellow in California who put it in a 56 Norton. Run E .420 cams. Love that Stroke! Erik K
