I am building a 2056 out of a 2.0 core.
Which 96mm pistons and cylinders are the current favorite combo on the BBS? I have heard in the past that people use new 96mm pistons (which kind?) and then bore out 94mm cylinders. I have two sets of core 94mm cylinders, one set is are rusty Kobelschmidt (KS) the other are Mahle (better shape overall but I broke a couple fins when I dropped one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ). If I have them bored out can the fins be fixed or am I better off getting another cylinder? I have also seen brand new 96mm piston and cyl. sets are available new. I recall people saying the quality of the cylinders was not very good. Is this true? An informed source told me they are ok. I can't afford Nickies, otherwise I would use them. |

You should give them a sample piston with the cylinders. I think Jake mentioned he runs a 0.0015" piston to wall clearance. That's the measurement betwen the piston and the wall without rings.
