Yeah I had a ear to ear grin with my rev per 98 kit ,until the nikasil started peeling off. Wasn't the pistons it was the nikasil.
Go to the other forum and look it up , never ever trust them again.

Just a quick note boys, it is the sulfur content found some gasoline grades that causes the nikasil to break down. By all means use fuels with as little as possible sulfur content to provide longitivity.
