Confused about piston standard
 
Okay so the FSM for the L28et says the standard bore is 86.0 mm to 86.050 mm. Do other companies have their own standard as compared to the factorys?

pistons

according to ITM it says standard bore is 86.1mm but isn't that almost a .020" overbore? Could it be a fatal typo?

Um did you try asking the seller that?

Honestly I dont see why you dont go just 1mm bigger or something simpler

for what reasons would you be going larger than 89mm?

lol... i'll never tell

The ONLY reason you'd go over 89mm in piston diameter is to ruin an otherwise perfectly salvageable block. You'll find out what I'm talking about when/if you really do it.

I had a friends f54 blocked bumped out to 89 and their is still some room to bump hone a couple more times, plus isnt 89mm the standard bore for a 3L stroker?

FubarI33t Sep 30, 2009 05:49 PM

it is. also there's a L block that can take more.

the LD28!

86.5mm is .020" overbore ;)

thetremendousti Sep 30, 2009 09:57 PM

well i got 86.1 so maybe i'll just hone the cylinders and pop them in, if they're too small then who wants to buy some new pistons? if they're too large then no biggie (intended) i'll bore it out

ahh, I fail, i didnt see the word "over" in that first line.

Yup the LD28 block can take more then 89mm and still be very strong
