John,
I have had an automotive machine and engine
rebuilding shop for the last almost 30 years and
the only oem pistons I have used are for IH cub
lowboy and only because there are no aftermarket
pistons for those. I am a Clevite distributor and
one step down the line for sealed power . I have
used both SP and Clevite in Cat and Cummins road
trucks with no problems.I used IPD pistons in the
cat 3208 way back because they were the first to
market a 3 ring piston to replace the silly 2 ring
piston that cat put in them. 3 ring piston really
perked up a 3208,top ring was higher up the piston
and I think the comp height was a few thousanths
more. I have done many case,ih, and jd tractors
and crawlers , all with aftermarket parts and no
troubles with them. I have a 5000 ford coming in
to do for the second time , it's been 27 years
since I did it the first time . Have a 580 ck
hoe in the shop , it has the Oring bores badly
eroded and I have to bore out the damage and make
repair sleeves for it ,it was leaking water into
the oil.
