I'm building a 2056 motor, #73 webcam, 8 to 8.5:1 compression, etc. Not a race motor or anything. But I'm wondering what pistons and cylinders are recommended.
There are the Mahle sets, but I think these are dished heads for fairly low compressions (close to US stock C.R.). I've also heard that these may not be available anymore. There are the AA japanese made set like these on e-bay. Generally I've heard good things about these and am currently leaning toward them: AA P&C's on ebay There are some of these hypereutectic piston sets also on e-bay. Haven't heard anything about them, but the difference in thermal expansion concerns me. hypereutectic on ebay There are also the Keith Black sets. Maybe similar to the hypereutectie ones listed above? I only know the name and not much else about these. That's all that I know of. And no, don't suggest Nickies or any of those real high dollar sets. Sadly, they are simply not in my price range! Thanks! Demick |

I have some sets to sell, but mine are not cheap as we rebore oem cylinders, correctly true each end and then match the pistons to them(skirt clearance wise)
When I have extras I sell them for 450.00 per set and you MUST have 93/94mm cylinders as cores that are rebuildable. Junk cylinders make for high oil temps, horrendous blow by compression and head leaks in short order. ALL the aftermarket cast iron cylinders suck... If you have older 96s thay might be NPR.. if so reuse these and get new rings they use the same rings as a 2.3Liter ford engine and I have them.. |
