    SETA engine?

    Can anyone confirm that this is a seta block/pistons? Specifically the pistons, waiting on a reply on the casting on the block. Looking for a "H81" right? Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

    I've never been in an SETA but I believe they have I pistons and those look exactly like our eta pistons

      Not a SEta. SEta piston tops look very similar to an i. Early ETA's have 2.7 cast on the outside of the block. All the ETA cranks have 81 cast into the crank to identity stroke.

        Super ETA pistons are domed. That's just a regular ETA bottom end.
