Does anyone know of any other sources of pistions than these here?
I'm going to need +.5 mm pistons for my rebuild. My machinist says that should be enough to ensure that the new rebore is consistent from top to bottom. But, even after searching the forum and the web, it appears that most of the pistons have dried up.
I've seen posts from the past that quote about $400/set for Mahle cast pistons but I can't find those at Zygmunt, Mesa, Pelican, or others. Does anyone have any insight or different info? Is it the falling dollar, lack of demand etc.?
Does the $400 piston set only exist at Bavarian Autosport, in which case you have to get the rods honed to fit the new wrist pins?
Here's what I found:
Maximillian $244 each
Autohauz AZ $126 each (1977 320i)
2002ad $595/set (tii)
Ireland Engineering $520/set (tii on backorder)
Bavarian Autosport $350/set (wristpin bore required/sub-standard rings?)
Thanks for the input
