Piston weight going from 928 pistons to 968 pistons has never been an issue. (I can not speak for the 944S pistons, however.)
A 1st oversize 928 piston tips the scale at 775 grams. (Rings, pin, circlips.)
A 1st oversize GTS piston is less, at 725 grams. (Rings, pin, circlips.
A 104mm 968 piston is 675 grams. (Rings, pin, circlips.)

I succeed to get what you requested in you PM. I sent you PM.

1st Oversized Piston Found!
[QUOTE=ador117;19026139]Michael,
I should be able to get you an oversized piston. If you are interested, I can try. Send me a PM. Have a great day,

I want to share an important update on this thread. Readers will be reminded that I needed an impossible-to-find, oversized piston to address the cylinder wall damage. Fellow list member @ador117 (Raphaël) was able to help find three oversized pistons. One for me and two for another member. Raphael has the pistons in his hands now, and we are working on getting them into the USA and then to me and the other fellow. This is really great news for me and keeps this engine build back on track to a relatively stock build. Here is the piston:
Thank you so much @ador117 and once again, the positive power of the list moves me forward. I'll provide and update once I have the piston and had a chance to drop the block and pistons off for rework.
