Ahh, thanks for the drawing. You're going to bolt it on? I know that some have had difficulty with the bolt-on approach, due to thickness of the flywheel. You might need to have some meat machined off the back. I was just going to get it cut into the back of a flywheel, if I could find a machinist with that capability.
But if you're getting a laser cutter to do one, I would be game for doubling your order and maybe we could save some money!
Heart Attack!
Called a motor shop in Williamsport, Pa to see if they could hot tank the block and give the head a quick look.
They said they would only do a full rebuild with new parts and it would cost $5000, I fell out of my chair.
Gonna push one of the low compression pistons out later to day and have a look. Who sells plus one piston rings?
Wow! pulled the pistons and found the issue with the blow by. #1 had it's skirt blown off. All 4 has very gunked up oil rings.
Bore looks OK. Where can I get a piston 1 over that is not $400?
I sourced some 0.5mm over in the US a couple of years ago for $400 the set of 4. Do some searches.
Googling for a while, so far no joy....
They are Mahle Pistons
The only thing I've been able to find is oversized forged pistons. 699 British pounds for a set.
Here are some, expensive and shipping is quite expensive... they are 1st oversized.
SKANDIX Shop: Piston
Found these, also expensive, but forged....

Got a line on several used motors on with 65K and a 6 month warranty from a 90-900 $1200 delivered to my house. one from a 90 SPG w 120K rebuilt at 100K plus one size, stock head, comes with a 90 spg full car/bad trans and a ton of spares price to be determined.
Paul, remember the vendor by chance?Quote:

I have been looking. Can't find it. It was definitely cheaper to buy in US and ship over than buying here. A lot cheaper. I might come across the box so I will keep lookingQuote:
