I'm building a 2056 motor, #73 webcam, 8 to 8.5:1 compression, etc. Not a race motor or anything. But I'm wondering what pistons and cylinders are recommended.
There are the Mahle sets, but I think these are dished heads for fairly low compressions (close to US stock C.R.). I've also heard that these may not be available anymore. There are the AA japanese made set like these on e-bay. Generally I've heard good things about these and am currently leaning toward them: AA P&C's on ebay There are some of these hypereutectic piston sets also on e-bay. Haven't heard anything about them, but the difference in thermal expansion concerns me. hypereutectic on ebay There are also the Keith Black sets. Maybe similar to the hypereutectie ones listed above? I only know the name and not much else about these. That's all that I know of. And no, don't suggest Nickies or any of those real high dollar sets. Sadly, they are simply not in my price range! Thanks! Demick |

Ok, but since most engines have been rebuilt before, how do you know that your existing cylinders are original and useable and not aftermarket?
