Hi guys..
My new speed pro pistons from EBay/Falcon Global came the other day and today I finally got a chance to look at them. I was really disappointed in how beat up they looked but maybe I'm just being too picky …to me they look like seconds. I’m attaching some pics and would like to get some of your thoughts.
Also, all of them have felt pen mark on one side(pic2).
Thanks
Ron

They look like they were almost installed. Definitely would send them back or ask for a refund.

Definetly send them back - there shouldn't be any ding marks on them of any kind........the felt pen marks could be something done during the manufacturing process - I mark some of the parts I make that way.
