    where to buy 86mm M52 pistons

    Hi guys,

    For my frankenstein engine (M50B25 block and rods with M52B28 crank) I'm looking for 86mm pistons with an CR of about (8.5 - 8.8) :1.

    I contact VAC a few days ago, but doesn't receive an answer till now. (Maybe they can't deliver this bore diameter)
    Maybe somebody have an idea where I can buy such pistons else?

    Thanks
    Torsten

    I know that TRM is offering 86.5mm 8,5:1 CR, but 86mm, huh... I presume that you will need to make a special order on pistons if you want to go 86mm route...

    thank guys... I'm going to buy these pistons from bavariansolutions.com

    He offered me Ross pistons - I never heard that brand before, so I hope they will work well as CP Pistons.
