WTB 1.6 TD pistons OS
« on: December 09, 2007, 05:17:39 pm »
Anyone have a set of pistons new or used  in good shape for a 1.6 TD in oversize. I have a motor coming that supposedly burns oil. The PO said he did rings but it had a bit of a ridge in the bores , enough to catch your fingernail , he figures it broke a ring after he sold it. So I am assuming it needs boring since it has a rebuilt head 5k ago. Cheers Dan

Thanks for the tip their prices are much better than I have been able to get locally. Only $189 for a set of pistons is quite reasonable much better than the $500-$700 I have seen elsewhere. Cheers Dan

If you're still in the market I can get you a set for 300 + shipping to Canada. These are Kolbenschmidt, not the Chinese garbage that one site sells...

Autohausaz does them on a special order basis, so that means they'll be slow getting them...  

I can hook you up.

let me know :D
