Used but still a good deal. I've dealt with the seller and he's a stand up guy ( Kim Crumb)

The GTS pistons in Rob's link have the the drain back holes drilled for the oil scraper rings. That helps I believe with some of the GTS' high oil consumption.

Most likely Lucky Ekman the "ek" part of Devek.

I was asking "how much" wondering if KJC's were a decent deal. Would it be ok to run used rings if being placed in a different block and cylinders?

It helps but they don't have it. Thats how stock GTS pistons look. Hole on the outside but its not all the way through.
