Steel pistons ? - that's a new one for me !



Yup...been that way for a few years. Like I said, at first it was a 2 pc
steel crown with an aluminum skirt. Now they are 1 pc steel.


Looking at the caterpillar site their engines seem to have around
17-18:1 but they're also turbocharged.


Yes, and they run quite a bit of boost.
