Hi ,
yes , I'm having a new engine built with AA piston and cylinder kit .
They are 94 B strokers . The pistons are slipper skirt style .
The engine is a street & strip 2.165 cc with approx 180 hp.
On the scales the largest weight difference is under 1 gram, which was not the case of my last engine with the Mahle/Cima kit.
My engine builder uses nearly exclusively the AA kits for all his engines.

Marc,
Do not only weigh them, but also measure piston diameter. I got a size difference on one of the 4 which probably would have made the piston run hot.
I had a VW machine shop rerun the measurement again, no mistake on the measurement unfortunately. Extra honing will probably solve it, but still..
