WTB 95mm piston
New to me project 1979 928. Because of low compression I did take engine apart and found two pistons had land area between top two ring groves broken. I did buy a set of 95 mm pistons off ebay but one was damaged at bottom of skirt. Because pistons do not match (one flat top and one dished top) I do not know if I could combine 4 flat top with 4 dished top. One other option would be to have bottom skirt welded back on but not sure if that could be done. What I would like to do is buy additional 95 mm dish top piston and put in with the ebay set. I think the dish top pistons are in 1980 - 1982 928 and they are #2 pistons. sahlhom@gmail.com

I have a full set of 81 (USA) pistons still on the rods, I think. Email me at Sepiantony2@bellsouth.net. I'll be at the other house tomorrow and try to take pics if I remember it. Make offer + shipping. I'll sell one or all.

Thanks for the suggestion but 928 international does not have 95mm tolerance #2 - it must be a rare piston size for 1980.

Those bores don't look right. Have they been sanded or the surface disturbed in any way. If so, that is bad. The bore surface is supposed to be smooth like this. Gunar

Nikasil is a plating process. Alusil is cast into the cylinder or a (alusil) sleeve is pressed into place. Mercedes Benz Alusil Cylinder Conditioning - YouTube
