Caesard Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Lovely write up. Unfortunately, it all flew over my head. Where the hell am I going to get all the equipment needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Lovely write up. Unfortunately, it all flew over my head. Where the hell am I going to get all the equipment needed? Tools like the DTI gauge and micrometers can be purchased from rswww.com, buck and hickman and Mitutoyo. Not cheap, but depends on what you want to do.

mark newman Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 We are thinking piston rings in number 2and6 making nice holes in the side of the pistons the head needs work as well as one outlet valve is blown apart as well . Hopefully we can start the new engine build next week will be a very strong engine will be using some nice parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark newman Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 CP Pistons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 CP Pistons I take it you wont be using them again, what else have you got in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Was it det or oil starvation? Something like that? Either of those it and doesn't matter what pistons you fit or how "strong" an engine is. Chances of two pistons failing in the same way at the same time due to manufacturing weaknesses are pretty slim I'd have thought, but a valve going as well means it can't be a piston problem.

mark newman Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Nos is can be very hard on an engine . Heat build up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard cp pistons have harder rings, no good for everyday use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark newman Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I think there hard for an engine builder to get them to seal nice without the engine getting blow pass , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I've used CP pistons for many years, once of the best pistons I've used and I've tried most of them. Awesome strength and build construction and aftersales were always very good with me, doing anything custom I ever needed to be done. I have tried wiseco and wossner, both seem to suffer from the same fault of skirt cracking under high load. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
