Need a piston for a Aerovee Turbo

Postby pappas » Mon Sep 13, 2021 6:13 pm

I need a single, lonely, piston for an Aerovee Turbo. These are Mahle 92mm from the 1055 big bore stroker kit that Sonex supplies with the turbo.

It seems that they are not available as replacements without buying the whole $500 set of jugs and pistons w/ wrist pins.
I REALLY hate to spend $500 bucks for all that when I only need a single piston. I have the Mahle part number from the entire big bore kit, but not for a single piston.

Does anyone have any ideas? Or hopefully, a piston laying around from the turbo engine you replaced with a new 3300??

I may have made a mistake. I should have negotiated for some stick time in the deal. I'll still hit him up when it cools down ;)

He'll get to see my Onex when he comes over to get his pistons and cylinders. Its REALLY close to flying.
