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) |

Guys, I just don't know about reusing these P&Cs. One might get having the pistons soda blasted - how about the cost of balancing the assembly after that? As for the cylinders...they will have to rehone and checked for acceptable wear limits. What if they are not in spec? $ just spent for a job where as one can not use said item. For the price differential , I would simply get a good used and or new set. Then my expectation maybe higher than others. Good luck!
