Hi I have a brand new set of Mahle pistons in .060 to suit a 1300cc engine. These can be used if you want to raise the compression.
Looking for $325.
I was quoted $463 from Repco.
Let me know if you would like them.
I am located in country Victoria and will pay for postage if that helps.
Thanks
Craig

in regards to the rings. did you use a ridge cutter on the top of the bore. sometimes the ridge will snap the top ring when you remove the piston

They were old breaks, as the broken edges were oil stained.

James, hope you don't mind me hijacking this thread ('tis related tho)but recently rec'd a set of AE +.90 pistons -was advised this was all that is available. They just don't appear to be an overly well designed strong piston so wondering what others have used, supplier and rough cost. Thanks Ian
