Re: piston for mc engine

["Mike Del Tergo" <mdeltergo@hotmail.com>]

In my experience, WR code 5 cyl, and from others I've spoken with, the 
#5 is often the first to suffer damage due to poor cooling and heat 
transfer in the rear of the engine bay.  While my car seemed to run 
well,(less than 40K miles) I was losing power somewhere, I pulled the 
head for a look around, it turned out that #5 piston was breaking up 
between the rings. Luckily none of the metal bits got past the rings.  
All the other pistons looked new as did the bores.
I got my pistons from IPC, not sure of their new name.  @ $95, seemed 
expensive at the time but virtually everyone said this was a deal.  I 
would give them a buzz if you want to go new. If other listers don't 
have the # I can prolly find it.  If you want used try Chris @ 
Autobahn01@aol.com. 
Good Luck
Mike
