I bought a used set (500 miles) of flat top 96mm pistons back some time ago, and just got around to looking at them real good today.
The were described as being 96mm forged JE Pistons.. but they arrived in AA Piston packaging with a description of being 104mm - the pistons are used and do measure 96mm (so the box/packaging was recycled). I can not find any JE indication but there is a "KB" symbol - does that mean that these are probably KE pistons? Supposedly they were on a Raby build.. and it looks like a valve touched the no.1 piston ever so slightly (fingernail sized mark). Thought? . |
