The price is definately right. And with NPR rings.

 

mine are scuffed on the skirts. Although these motors are sweet. Crosshatch is nice.

 

Would you guys just clean the pistons up and put them back? I am glad I split the case and checked the rod bearings. They aren't toast, but they sure aren't long for this world either.

The pistons are for a quad cam 2.5 motor if you didn't know that already.

The majority of the pistons I see for these are not sized to the block right, just using an A/B/C size piston isn't usually enough to do the clearance correctly. I size all of my rebuilds by hand with a bore gauge and find most are way too small by spec. I have eliminated piston slap in many engines in the past couple of years.

 

To me it looks like a deal as long as all 4 are within specs for your block. On a budget I would probably put all of the originals back in their original positions and just put new rings in it. Let me know if you need any engine parts I can often beat prices.

Thanks for the reply shawn, I got an answer from my machinist today when I dropped off everything. He said the old one's were in great shape but he would vat and check them but the wrist pins fit nice, and the skirts aren't too worn. just light scuffing.
