I'm led to believe that the weak point of the 1MZ is the piston ring arrangement?

Are there any forged stock-size pistons that can be fitted to increase the FI potential of this engine?

And where does one get such pistons? :)

trd4life and other members of the SolaraGuy forums use the Arais pistons on their 1mz/3mz hybrid (http://www.solaraguy.com/viewtopic.php?p=513115&sid=32b6ceb592c78960cfab6a03b07ffe3e) builds. From what I have read they are custom pistons and are procured through a group buy, i believe the members there order pistons for both the 1MZ and 3MZ blocks for their various year / revision cars.

Other Possibilities (http://mr2oc.com/showthread.php?t=324037) from MR2OC.
not what you were asking, but.... 1mz vs 22r rods (http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=287329&highlight=1mz+1mz-fe+1mzfe)

There is also some info from trd4life and toysrme / tony the tiger floating about on Toymods and ToyotaNation but I can't find the links at the moment.
