non turbo ones.Anyone interested in getting pistons off me lewismowers@wideband.net.au. cheers from grant lewis :idea:

Is there any difference between the F6a turbo pistons in the SOHC or DOHC?

Yes, flycuts.. (is that what they're called?)

Where the crown's machined to allow for the valves..
DOHC have 4 cuts
SOHC have 2

falcon you can definitely put me down for a set!!!!!!

can we go any bigger with the oversize or aren't there head gaskets out there to accommodate the bigger bore??? Will 1mm oversize make the cylinder walls to thin....??? (still havn't had time to take my f6a's apart yet to check this out....)

i`ll check if i can get bigger sizes.I just thought to get about four sets first. see how things go and freight cost.to get other parts eg gaskets . i have already got parts off nick suzukigeek nmnlogo@ozemail.com.au.got a timing belt,water pump.six ex valves .soon has i get pistons i`ll put the motor together.it will take at least a month for pistons to be done.And i have to send sample piston.cheers all :)

Just talked to steve in the states.he`ll make them any size but minimun of four sets per piston eg.65.5 66. 66.5 67. 67.5 68. not sure were you get over size head gaskets,maybe suzuki sport. if you won`t bigger than 65.5 mm get four of you together on a size.other wise it`s to costly plus he only does four pistons,six,nine and so on it`s about $770 plus abit of freight cost.cheers :)

I'm happy getting a set of pistons with a bore of 65.5mm...

If others want to go bigger and we can get four people involved I'm also happy to get a bigger set as I have 3x f6a engines i'm planning to build up....

luckily the AUD and USD conversion is in better than normal at the moment so the sooner we pay the better!!!!

number, approx price????

$770 AUD (I hope you meant australian dollars, falcon) is pretty reasonable, I think....but if you know someone in Aus that can do the same thing.....
