I read a lot about the KB Hypereutectic pistons but, I've not really heard about the Silv-o-lites. From what I researched these are hypereutectic pistons as well but, I can't seem to find the part number on the box anywhere online.
Anyone know if these definitely work as the 96mm "Big Bore" kit for a 1.8L? That's what the seller claimed and I got a screamin' deal for these. Seriously, I paid less than a hundred bucks for this set! Anyone?     |

QUOTE(Mark Henry @ Dec 6 2011, 10:09 AM)  Found one 1.8, 1.178" again from the top of the pin to the top of the piston. Thank you. I'll have to check the height tomorrow as I'm at work now and the pistons are in storage. Thanks again for the important info! |

If you lay a 1.7 piston next to it I'm sure you'll find that it's a perfect match for the wrist pin location. Hastings has the rings for those and cylinders are available. |

Hastings has the rings for those and cylinders are available. Yeah, that's what the seller said. He had them in storage for over 10yrs., but they are supposed to be 96mm. I hope they're correct for my 1911 build. |
