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) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Unless the piston skirt is collapsed or there are deep grooves up the side or the ring grooves are damaged, you can re-use the piston.
The condition of the cylinder wall is more important. As long as they are round and not tapered, and any surface imperfections can be honed out, they can be re-used. Rings can be purchased for on piston. You need to know the ring thicknesses, ring groove depths, and cylinder nominal dia. |
