Need help finding pistons for my build
« on: January 16, 2009, 10:20:00 AM »
My dealer said that .010 over new pistons would cost me $280 :huh:

So, I went to Google looking .....

I want 'NEW' pistons, .010" over stock - cast, flat tops

fitment is for 1999 1340 EVO
(yeah I know, I have a year 2000, but it's the same engine, and most places don't show 1340 past year 1999)

If you have time, or can take time, and help me locate these, at something of a reasonable price,  I'd greatly appreciate it !

Thanks,
Mikey

JE makes the pistons that I use on EVO builds. They are forged so yes they are pricey, about 280....
I have a set in the shop to go into a build now, i'll get more info when I get in this morning.

J&P Cycles:

Keith Black Performance Piston Kits.  Cast.  (pair) pistons, wrist pins, spiral locks, engine assembly lube, Hastings Moly ring sets.  8.5:1 flat top (with SE heads it would be 9.5:1).

J&P# 432-023  .010 over  $169.99



I know you said "cast" but just in case you decide to splurge...

Wiseco Forged Piston set.  (pair) pistons, rings, circlips, wrist pins.  8.5:1 (with SE heads it would be 9.5:1).

J&P# 431-748  .010 over  $246.99

There's more to read on the J&P web site.  Just plug in the numbers.

It looks like the PN for +.010 OEM EVO pistons w/rings is 21942-83. They are $70.65 each and the part is still active.
