Are those oversized or are they just straight replacements (except forged) ?

If you look closely you can make out the bore diameter on the spec sheet is "3.267", which is 83mm. They're stock replacements (hence why he got them so fast - they really DO stock them )

Re: (biosehnsucht)
Race Engineering stocks both stock (83mm) and 83.5mm pistons. If you look again, you'll see "bore diameter : 3.287" which is 83.4898mm ('s a 8, not a 6)biosehnsucht wrote:If you look closely you can make out the bore diameter on the spec sheet is "3.267", which is 83mm.

Gah! Oh well, I just figured for 83 and it looked like it so I didn't try figuring for 83.5 to notice the similarity

Re: (biosehnsucht)
Congrats on the purchase of the CP pistons! Why did you chose the the 83.5mm slugs? I chose the 83mm because I had no bore damage after 3 years of hard-core abuse. Anyways, good luck on your rebuild.

motor shop recommendation. They told me that piston to wall clearance was almost twice maximum spec and that oversized pistons would be the solution.boost_boy wrote:Congrats on the purchase of the CP pistons!
