1973 2.4L 911T Pistons/Rings/Wrist Pins

I need to purchase 6 pistons for a rebuild

Who would you recommend that I purchase these pistons from?

I am looking for a reputable manufacturer and/or distributor

The first question I'd ask is what condition are your cylinders in?

Any bore taper wear?

There are several piston options including Mahle (dealer only), JE, CP and some others. If you use a JE or CP, its very critical to ensure they fit properly otherwise the engine will be noisy when cold and the rings won't last long.

Weren't the pistons different between the MFI and CIS engines as well?
