The valve seat on my 1.7 bent and impacted the #2 piston. When I opened the engine, I found the P.O. had installed a big bore kit on the 1.7 and increased it to 1911cc. Now I have to get a new 96mm flathead piston. Does anyone know where I can get just one? There are many kits, but they all come in 4, and the other 3 pistons are fine. Thanks.

The head for the 3 and 4 cylinders is a 1.7 head machined out, so I decided to just get a 1.7 and machine it at an automotive machine shop nearby. The head is on its way, and the piston is already here and in the engine. Hopefully, I can get the 914 running in a week. If it doesnt work, I recently picked up a 1.7 disassembled engine block with pistons/cylinders for 15 dollars from a no-reserve, low starting bid, unnoticed eBay auction, and I could put the stock cylinders and pistons back in. I will have to see what condition they are in.
