Subject: Need pistons(TR6)
>Hi. I just got off the phone from British Miles, and here are the prices
>they gave me for the parts I needed:
>Pistons $329.00(rings&wrist pins included)
>Rod Bearings(standard) $22.95
>Oil pan gasket $6.25
>Oil pump $159.95
>
>Now, the question(s) I would ask the list are:
>Are these prices fair?
>Does anyone have any of these parts left over or accumulated that they
would
>like to sell?
>Has anyone ever rebuilt a TR6 engine using used pistons? What does the
list
>think of this practice? This will be a stock engine, never raced.
>If used pistons are ok, does anyone have a set?
>
>Some of you may remember responding to me about my engine smoking and
>leaving a tremendous oil cloud behind me. I had the head checked, and it
>was in great shape.
>Turns out, some DPO had rebuilt this engine using pistons that were too
>small. Maybe GT-6 pistons? I've had all the tolerances checked and if I
>change the pistons and rod bearings, I'll should be in good shape. What do
>ya'll think?
>
>Thanks so much for your help. I'm always lurking, trying to learn, and you
>guys have always been a HUGE help.
