There is a set of Jahns pistons on E-bay for the 907; Are they any good? Would it be wise to buy them?
 I know that with the knowledge of our JH community I can't go wrong

No idea about those Jahn's pistons except they are a company from the old days, I don't think they are around any more. Might be an interesting science experiment. I can tell you that piston technology has really progressed in the last few years. The newer cast pistons from CP run very tight tolerances with low expansion. Older cast units need quite a bit of space to expand meaning if your liners are not recut wide enough, they will seize. That's not a fun experience.

Thank you very much for your input Greg, will take your advice and stay away from old tech.  Thank you for your information.
