oem pistons

[zero_gripS13]

ok well got me a new long bock, still need a set of pistons cant offord forged.

does anyone have a good set of stock pistons.

the engine i pick up had low comp on cyl 3 and the head gasket been changed so it has to be rings, valves, or piston and the previous owner said the valves and head are good so unless it rings i th its a cracked ring land, since it was a top mount rb25 turbo setup probably improperly tuned so im probably still in the need of some pistons.

let me know if anyone can help me out.

thanks nico.

no one have a set lying around that they pulled to install forgies....

even if u just have a couple good ones let me know.. imight have one but my first motor has 2 cracked ones and a scared up one and a good one... this new motor should have 3 good ones and probably one bad one...

i might just have to wait till tax return and get some cp or weisco or something..

don't get pistons until you know they are bad. If the pistons are indeed shot buy new stock pistons and rings.

on lon block has 3 bad pistons and the other probably has one crackedring land, i cant offord forged ones and shiping time is 4 months form nissan jp (at about 80$ a peice). so im trying to find some good used ones.

$80 a piece? that is a 100% markup! The last time I checked pistons they were about $40 a piece and the ring set was $120.

I think I remember seeing OE cast pistons being more expensive that forged aftermarket.
