I am doing some spring cleaning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) and I am going to sell off some of the excess I have but before I can to that I need know what I have so I can decide if I should keep or sell. About a decade ago I bought a bunch of stuff for a Porsche shop having a yard sale. It was a pile of boxes that they did not want to put back away.
In one of these boxes was a set of new 96mm pistons with bored out 94mm mahle cylinders. I don't know if these are meant to go on a 1.7/1.8 bottom end or if they are for a 2.0 bottom end. I could install one on a partially assembled bottom end but I was hoping someone might know a way to measure and determine. These are Arias pistons with a dome on them. I don't think I have come across any other domed pistons for a 914 and I don't know anything about Arias. I have not pulled any of the pistons out of the cylinders yet but cylinder wall look nice and the pistons will move if I push. Any info would help me. Thanks Jim |

Oops I interpret the ? wrong when I read through it the 1st time.
I don't know the measurement for the pin height but the top of the bore for the pin on a 2.0 is right under the oil ring with a very small gap. The 1.7- 1.8 would have would have a larger gap. On a 2.0 piston from the top of the pin bore to the top of the piston is .922 Those pistons look heavy |
