Subject: Re: pistons etc. needed for M45 rebuild
I am not an engineer but if the engine seized at 500 miles I would suspect inadequate piston clearance especially if the pistons were forged. Whatever pistons I run I will have treated with a thermal barrier on the crown and special skirt coating. There is a company called "Swain" near Rochester New York that does this. Google their webpage, you may find it interesting.
