Thread: Used Piston Question

I have a set of L67 pistons with unknown mileage, I can say the bearings looked like crap. Should I reuse these pistons? I want to re-ring them and put L32 rods on them with new wrist pins, good idea?
I bought used Diamond forged Pistons and it turns out my machine shop cant use them as they are collapsed. <- I had to google that...

What do you mean by collapsed? I'm just wondering as I have nothing to add to this other than I'd run the pistons if they look ok.

If you google it you get this




Two of the pistons I bought had that SLIGHTLY

They are dirty but look good, no valve marks from smack and the sides look good.

eww looks nasty

So you have just L67 stock pistons? Or pistons and rods?

Stock L67 pistons and rods and ****ed up Forged Diamond Pistons with L32 Rods. I'd want the L32 rods on the L57 Pistons.

If it were me, I'd just keep the L67 rods. Unless they are completely shot

As long as they spec out ok, you can reuse them.
