At a car show a month ago I won a trophy for 2nd place with my 911.
I was just curious, what did this come out of. It is obvious it is a well used piston.
In the center of the piston is stamped a 6 or 9, but unless it is from a HUGE 10 cylinder engine I suspect it is a 6. The other marking looks like it is an H.
You can see it is big piston, just fraction under 3 & 7/8th inch. If it matters I can use my calipers on it if they go that big and get a more accurate size.
I feel certain it is not a Porsche piston, and I honestly don't really care much, but I was just curious if the brain trust had a idea as to what it likely is from. Ford, Chevy, Mopar, or some industrial engine. I suspect it is the trash from some local engine re-builder.
I do know my wife is not real happy with it in the house as another thing to dust, so I suspect it will go to my garage to be on display for a while, and then to the attic or back to the car show folks as a donation to the next car show. I have an attic of trophies from Autocrosses and not many car show trophies.
Usually a Red Cabriolet or some flashy Turbo with a big wing and wheels win the popular voting. This was not a judged car show, just the people in attendance voting for their favorite of each category. With almost 300 cars there it was a lot to look at.
I enjoyed looking at the other cars as much as talking to people about mine. It was a fun day.
