i was workin on a big project...and and i took my pistons out but before i did that the bearings in cylinder 1 was really messed up,messed up as in it came out in pieces, now i checked the crankshaft and that was fine. after doing so i took off the rest of the bearings and they seemed burned but not as bad as cylinder one.i took off my pistons and wow, they are shot. there is alot of ressistance to move the pistons, what i mean is what i have the pistons out and holding it on the rod, the piston is suppose to move freely, if i wiggle the rod and i have to actually put alot of force into the piston. now i am not so worried about the bearings.i was wondering for the pistons. i found a set of pistons for 300, 95 pistons with big rods, direct bolt-on. since the 95 piston compression is 8:5 can i still run high boost? or is it better to get the 1g pistons? i am runnin an 18g and goin to run about 20psi on there. just need some suggestions
 
yes. the 2g pistons are a popular upgrade for us 1G owners. i was use the 1G rods with the 2G pistons.

if i'm not mistaken you have to do some work to get them to fit though.
