[s-cars] Pistons?

[Stephen Redford]

---------- John , the pistons are from Wisco and .020 oversize.   They are forged not cast.   They are going to be 8.5 to 1 comp. ratio instead of the normal 7:1 for the Urq.  I do not have any other specifics...  I can probably get some from the shop owner.  That might take a couple of days or so, but would be glad to get you what I can.   Oh , there is one thing I remember.   Wisco did not have any "blanks" on hand for thoes specific pistons to be machined out of, so blanks had to be made.   I will find out the cost .   The main thing the shop owner said was that I would have to wait a couple of weeks or so , longer .   We were told 4-6 weeks , but it was over 6.   Your pistons might be able to be made from forged blancs which they already have on hand...  It is worth a call to Wisco...  You might also be able to get "stock" oversize pistons from a dealer or parts reseller... The "lists" should be able to help with your needs also... This list and it's relatives on Audifans is simply the best thing on the web.   Hope this helps,     ...Stephen Redford '85Urq
