Dave?
Is the aluminum piston the only thing that stops and changes
direction? aren't they hooked to a forged steel rod? Don't the lifters
start and stop? Aren't they hooked to push rods, rockers, valves, valve
springs, keepers, and retainers? for a total of seven hundred pounds.

Re: Possible Trolls?
Not the same engine as far as I have heard.
The Jeep version has the stupid 8 to 4 cylinder engine like the old GM
abortion they tried on the Caddy.
One article somewhere said they couldn't use it on the pickup because
it, the engine, couldn't handle load.
So much for the 'Hemi'. What a joke.
