What "offset marks" are you referring to? This may not be pertinant to this thread but my pistons were 8.7:1 and I had mine made before you guys did the BB. I know all 6 of my pistons were the same on offset. Diamond told me that they were so close that it didnt matter. Which I'd have to agree with since I have 2500 miles on the motor. Now I know some of you cats had a different setup than what I had made but all 6 of mine were identical and I put them where they needed to go based on balance, not the offset. Are you positive that they wont work as is? My combo was S-rods with the flat top ZE piston design but with deeper valve pockets and all 6 were the same. Just thought I'd share that.

UPDATE:
I spoke with Diamond Racing today.
The end result of installing the pistons with the incorrect offset will wear down the skirt and cause rattling.
I have submitted all addresses to Diamond for the remakes. I was told they should be complete in a week.

I doubt the one week remake is correct. They've got to research each job and make all those sets. It would be nice but I'm not expecting them to be done in a week but we'll see.
The last set being made for ausloki may be done by then.
this is the email i got this morning...
Jason,
Keith Venekamp's, Terry de Graauws, orders we will not have to remake,
they
were made with both left and right offsets. The rest of the orders have
been put in and should ship with in a weeks time. Sorry about this
train
wreck, I just hope your customers understand its being taking care of as
fast as possible.
Best Regards,
