Hi all,
I unfortunately melted piston no.3,
Going about rebuilding it but seeing what's out there piston wise?
The engine was in fairly good condition so would consider some used Pistons or new standard ones? (Saw some on eBay this week but failed to snap them up).
Or aftermarket ones..
Thanks in advance

Did it damage the bore? If not I would stick with a standard piston. If it has go for some wossners 77mm. Adds a nice kick to the performance.

Just depends how much cash you have

Unfortunately it has but only melted metal to the bores rather than severely scratch them - hoping to hone them out and run on standard size Pistons.
Any idea where I could get them from? Perhaps vw heritage?
Thanks

I have 3 standard Pistons. You can have one for 15 posted

Are they used? If so how many miles had they done etc?
May take you up on this if you could send over your details - assuming you have PayPal?
Thanks

Hi guys,
Where's best for buying aftermarket Pistons? 75mm or 76.
Thanks

Go 77mm for a 1341 motor. Doesn't leave you any room if you ruin it again, otherwise go 76.
