Check out THIS Piston!!
My boss gave me this as a paper weight...yeah right, this thing is huge!! It measures 3 1/2 inches tall (95mm), 5 inches in diameter (135mm!!)...hell, the wrist pin is 40mm!! This is from an aircraft he said but he can't recall which kind. Any Ideas Snw?

I wish my boss could remember what it came out of. He said he use to work on airplanes a long time ago and that he got it a long time ago. I would not mind having 6 of these in my L28E...but I am afraid they would be just a hair too big for the block

Three blind mice,
See how they run.
Where the **** are they going?
Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
Each with a buck and a quarter
Jill came down with two-fifty
The ****in' *****!
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And said, "Hey! What's in the bowl, bitch!"

Little boy Blue....He needed the money ...Oh!!!!!
My boss still can't recall what plane it came from...but still, at 5" in diameter I bet it sounded cool.
