It a sad story that isn’t going to be told today, but I needed to replace my pistons and cylinders on the 3.0. So what is there to do with them. Sell them to some fool on eBay or craigslist?
I’m thinking maybe they could be the bases for some kind of art. Maybe a pen holder for my desk. Anyone got some original ideas? |

I have an Type-4 cylinder for just that reason.
You could TIG in a base, Tie on some handles and install a liner and make a neat set of mugs. .5L a piece or a bit more since the piston never makes it to the bottom. That would make for an interesting Octeenerfest drink holder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Get a boat load of them and slip them over your mailbox post. Use them as table legs Make a chandelier out of them Convert your car to an electric motor out of a Telse Modal S and use them to make the engine look like a radial. Door stops for around the house. Fancy ass boot scraper Mortice and Pestle Section them into pieces and sell them as gages for some kids ears. Weld all 6 together, find an approbate fruit that fits in the bore and use it as a launcher. Back it up with a huge amount of air. Get another case, heads etc..... Weld it onto the front of your existing case, add all the extras. Make it look like a 917 Engine sell it to Patrick Motorsports to install in their 917 clone, for huge dollars. Go buy a 3.6, go to LN and get some Nickies to make a a 4.0L and go and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Sorry about your lose, always bad when engines go south. |
