FRM Safe pistons?
I will keep it short. I am rebuilding my engine and want to know if there is an aftermarket option for frm safe pistons (so I dont have to sleeve the block)? I have been looking for weeks and cant seem to find any answers to the question. I believe that Mahle has an option but I cant find a part number for them to see if I can get them through my work (Advance Auto Parts). If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

J's, Spoon, and Toda all make FRM friendly pistons.
Nevertheless, I've not heard of any damaged machined piston due to the manufacturing process yet. And machined pistons are a little lighter than forged.
BTW what makes pistons "FRM-Friendly"?

Let us know if you find a Mahle F20 piston. I used their H22 pistons in a F24 stroker. They have a gold coloured coating on the skirt that looks like a non-stick frypan coating.
The H22 ones have a different compression height and pin size, plus the valve cutouts are in a different position.
Pictures of the Mahle ones are in my F24 post/
