I have 4 1500 flat top pistons from an old bus motor, not sure if they are good or worn out but if your stuck I can dig them out and check anything you 'd like on them.

Everything I was worried might be too far gone turned out to be rebuildable including the original heads. We even decided to reuse the original 83mm pistons and cylinders since they seemed to be fine. All was going well until today, when I heard from the engine builder today that one of the pistons has a crack in the skirt. Does anyone have happen to have an original 83mm 1500 piston in good condition that they can part with? thanks, Scott 62 343 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
