Since your pistons and seals will never be exposed to freezing weather like your northern neighbors in Canada, perhaps you will not run into the issue. Im hoping that chrome plating will last when exposed to several cycles of extreme temperature (sessions at the track in the summer, and errands in the Winter).
If you noticed, one user who I quoted in my previous post, polished the pistons himself to address the seal premature wear issue. This obviously has nothing to do with leaking due to temperature extremes ...
RB did not mention when exactly they changed to "chrome plating" ...
