Odd P&C's from 3.2 L
I was just look on my shelf and found an odd set of P&Cs from a 3.2L.
With both P&Cs being marked KS, I assumed they were alusil cylinders and onto the shelf they went, but.... Cylinders have a groove for a CE ring gasket Cylinders are nikasil (magnetic) Pistons are not magnetic (like the iron coated ones for alusil cylinders) Pistons have a 23mm wrist pin (so they are 3.2 not 3.0 pistons) Did KS make a nikasil 3.2L P&C set with CE gasket?! I have a receipt for an engine rebuild that specifies 'replated cylinders' which may explain the cylinders - maybe they are replated 3.0 versions. But that doesn't explain the pistons eing KS and suitable for nikasil. Thanks Andrew M

Andrew
What are the P/N's cast into the inside of the skirt or bottom of the dome? That can help identify the pistons.
