You have no idea of the design tolerances. For all you know, there were secondary operations involved after your friends' CNC machine did it part of the process. You have no facts, just a half assed tail from a guy who was pissed that some engineer told how him to do his job. If the Japanese are so great at getting "tight tolerances" right, why do so many Tundra V-8 exhibit piston slap? Are "excessively tight" tolerance the reason a Toyota starter for my old Cressida cost $500 when a similar starter for a US car got less than $100? Are those "excessively tight" tolerances the reasons the jump seats on my Frontier keep falling down? Or maybe the "excessively tight" tolerances is why so many Toyotas had problems with rotten egg smells from the exhaust. Ed

Pistons at this factory, pistons at that factory. Engine blocks here, engine blocks there. It may help for you to eliminate faith from your thinking on these issues.

Engine blocks here, engine blocks there. I said you were making things up ecasue you said " the exact same engine parts." They are not the exact same engine parts. Chrysler doesn't make pistons at all. They buy them, jsut like Ford, GM, and Toyota (althoguh Toyota probably owns 51% of the company making their pistons).
