Default Just an idea

Just a though for cheap b-series pistons. I was looking on ebay and found 7mgte pistons. There 83mm bore, wrist pin is 21.996mm, comp is 8:5:1 in the 7mgte. So from the looks of it you would just need to over bore to 83mm and line hone the wrist pin a bit. Not 100% sure it will work but if it does could be a cheap way to go.

I don't think the engine would run very good it the pistons were 3 mm above the block

Yah, Hitchhikkr says the compression height is too tall. Also, they aren't a strong piston and they aren't forged so not worth the hassle.


My $0.02 on the subject is boring out the small end of the rod a whole mm doesn't make me feel too great about the idea.

Only people I have ever seen do 83mm stock sleeve builds were JG and they were all motor builds. Plenty of companies who sell cheap forged b series pistons one not used much for some odd reason is Probe Industries.
