gazzaw Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi Just had my jeep engine (GPW L134 flathead etc) refurbished and 2 cylinders have been rebored. now have two sizes of bores. Does anyone know where I can get pistons & rings seperately to save me buying 8 (two sets of 4) to get 2 from each? Thanks Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzaw Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Cancel last, just gave instructions to rebore all out to 1 size as it would probably cost same by the time I buy 2 sets of pistons. Now £480+Vat groan...... Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Gary, The engine balance could have been effected with differing sizes of piston fitted. Saying that, I once stripped an engine from an ex-Portugese Army armoured vehicle with three pistons at +.020 and the other three at +.040 ! Not normal engineering practise, guess they may have had a shortage of parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
