Used Forged Pistons/rods

[GtRawrz]

picked up a set of

eagle rods - CRS - 4783 - NI

CP - Only markings i see are the cp stamp and the 85.2A how do i tell what pistons they apparently they are 87mm , but dont know the model number as i need new rings , also can pre detonation on the side of a piston be repaired ive seen a few forums repairing them and getting away with it honestly bought the rods alone , and they came with the pistons so if they are fixable id be saving on my rebuild

also looking for a site that sells ACL bearings and a full engine gasket kit etc thanks

Full gasket kit from kudos, I'm not sure about ACL bearings.. Apparently they were closing down about 12 months ago..

Get some king bearings, next best thing

would pre detonated pistons be repairable ? detonation markings are not as bad as my bmws detonated ones as those ones had worse markings and deformed these have minor pre detonation markings on 5 of them ive seen a method of repairing them and few guy gotten away with it ? ill get some pictures up

How do you tell what size they are - you measure them. Verier callipers aren't that expensive.

[GtRawrz]

just grabbed them didn't have the time to measure , honestly trying to find a model number do not get why cps do not have them as every other piston does that was created even OEM ones do but thanks for the input and help

I wouldn't put them in my engine

Damn its rattled hard to be pitted there

[GtRawrz]

last owner thought he was smart and put a manual boost controller without re tuning it ! after it was only tuned to 12 psi at 350 whp , went to 17 LOOL. im fine with buying new ones just wanted others input rods are still in good condition pretty sure this motor didn't make it past 10 000 km

thought id ask after looking at this , http://www.miataturbo.net/engine-performance-56/how-fix-mild-pre-detonation-forged-pistons-64990/

Into the bin

Good ash trays if you smoke lol

[GtRawrz]

hahaha i do smoke , all works out! thanks guys appreciate the help time to tear my engine apart

They were sort of salvageable, if they were damaged a bit less.

Top ring land is shot on the upper edge and some skirt tearing puts them into the bin......

I have however saved more damaged pistons in the past but it was a lot of hand work to salvage them, i personally wouldn't recommend it.
