    Hello I am looking for a oem standard size piston, preferably new but will also take low mileage (<50k ). I need one but would like to purchase 2-3 just for backups.

    I agreed to let the previous owner have the first drive of my GTX for letting me store it in his shop until it was fixed. He got all over it and chipped a piston due to the bad gas. RockAuto does not carry oem any will only sell sets of 6 of anything else they offer. GM no longer offers them. There is 1 supercharged 3800 at a junkyard in my area, but it has well over 200k.

    I would appreciate any other leads, thanks!!

    tough call, factory block has 170k miles and the spare has "107k" but it looks close to 170 as well lol.

    Just as a heads up you never want to replace just one piston. Finding another block is always the easiest route.
