2jzjay Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hey chaps.... after a little advise Currently having my block bored out to 86.5mm, Looking at getting some JE pistons as they are the most reasonably priced. Has anyone had any issues with them? Or feel free to throw some other good VFM options in there ☺ And any best places to purchase from...... need them fairly quickly Thanks in advance for any help!

Supra-love Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Might be wrong here but I think JE pistons are known for a bit of piston slap when cold. I would opt for MAHLE ProSeries piston http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/toyota/supra/engine-components/bottom-end-parts/mahle-1728.html Edited January 3, 2018 by Supra-love (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2jzjay Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Ah ok, Don't really fancy that. Thanks for the reply I'll take a look at the mahle ones... or maybe Cp or Manley??

2jzjay Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Gone for Manley in the end!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Manley are good too yes, we keep them on the shelf here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 You will get some piston slap with most aftermarket pistons until the engine is warm, its the nature of the piston material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP and JE are bad for it, piston slap is more or less non existent with Mahle and Manley depending on the clearances used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I used CP pistons in my forged build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2jzjay Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Glad I went for Manley then.... Hopefully don't get much piston slap, bores will be final finished with manufacturers Clearance so fingers crossed. Using ACL bearings too. On with the build!
