So my other topic is not getting any response, let me try a different approach. I know the guys, who know, are out there. This is a 96mm p & c combo that came out of my 1911cc. These are old school. I know for a fact that this engine was modified at least 20 years ago (the car has been stored that long). I have never been able to find part numbers or marks other than the "TS" inside the pistons. The cylinders have 18 fins, don't know, if that helps, with 24mm wrist pins. What I would like to know is if they are usable / worth salvaging for the rebuild? I'm on a budget. Car needs extensive fire damage repair.
As you can see, this piston suffered from some corrosion and has pitting. I am aware that there are engine parts that can be welded/metal deposited where there is pitting. Question is, is this piston repairable and at what cost? I also need two 96mm jugs to replace two that are also pitted (easy part) . TIA for the advice. -Dan Attached thumbnail(s) |

I can't see any pitting that is worth a second thought. Unless the pic isn't showing something. You could have them soda blasted and re-ring them. But if you have to have cylinder bored to 96, you're going to overshoot the cost of AA Pistons.
I don't know what brand they are. I would guess Mahle, but I'm not really sure they made oversize pistons. But if you're building something as a temporary motor, get the AAs. They're in a TON of people's motors and are running great. |
