I have a 2.0L motor sitting around that was water siexed (rusted) ao this weekend I pulled it apart.
Needs new pistons and cylinders so I was looking at this big bore (no machining needed) kit. Anyone have experience with this particular kit? http://aapistons.com/index.php?main_page=p...;products_id=58 |

Cheap chinese junk will be cheap chinese junk. You might get lucky though and get a few thousand miles out of a set before it costs you some real money.

The AA piston and cylinder kits as scotty says are a crap shoot but so cheap that they can be used and taken the extra time to match up and measure. We use them here for cheap engine rebuilds and have not had a problem after carefully fitting weighing and mic ing them. NPR were the best made in Japan but long discontinued. As an amusing anecdote, after the war my dad called the stuff from Japan cheap jap crap!!! Then japan got better and better, until he actually PREFERRED products from Japan (except cars!!!!!)
Eventually the Chinese will be there. Please note that the AA stuff is not ours!!!!! Cheap chinese junk will be cheap chinese junk. You might get lucky though and get a few thousand miles out of a set before it costs you some real money. |
