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

real simple! take a standard 1.7 piston and insert a rist pin in 1/2 way, then take the piston in question and insert the other end of the pin in it and if the top of both pistons are the same , it is a 1.7/1.8 . If the piston in question is shouter than 1.7 piston then it is a 2.0.
