Used stock GN piston wanted for engine rebuild
« on: January 14 2013, 12:00:03 PM »
Does anybody have a stock GN piston that I could buy.  I'm doing a rebuild and all the pistons are in good shape except one.

Did you find one yet? I think I have 5 of them on stock rods.
PM me if needed & I'll see if I can get one in the mail for you.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Thanks for helping him out, David!

He's one of the unsung TR hero's, years ago he gave me most of an exhaust system

Thanks! I broke the set when I gave one to the younger guy (forget his name?) he had just moved to an army base with his young family back a year or 2 ago so I figure why not just send them out to guys that really need them. I was never going to use them or the rods & to sell wouldn't be worth the hassle. I hope it gets another V-6 on the road!  :cheers:
 
Think his name was Charles??

WOW?? Are you sure? I gave one to someone else last year & it was fine.
All I have is Stockers that I remember?? The others are all in my engines?
This has me confused now??
Maybe post some pics?
David
 
PS: Only others I had are JE & thats not a JE for sure.
It came from a stock untouched long block. 99% sure??
Stockers have the 2 notches on one side of the face correct??
