A 104mm 968 piston is 675 grams. (Rings, pin, circlips.)

No worries. I have plenty of other projects preoccupying my time. According to my wife, I just acquired a DYI sauna project!

Default 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,
Raphaël[/QUO
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.
