<VV> Reusing LM pistons

[Ken Clark]

I wish I were on my way to Denver, but will miss the show this year.  As far as pistons, I have always used the old ones without any problems, but my cars do not get all that much use.  I have an engine together with "used" pistons that appear to be ok that will be started up shortly.  I've probably done 3-4 over the years without any problems.  It's a matter of choice and peace of mind that new ones may provide.  Ken
