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 |

Typically a visual inspection of the piston will tell you.
if the pin position is much lower than the ring lands it is for the 66mm stroke crank if the pin position is just below the lower ring land it is 71mm |
