You are going to use JE pistons with Alusil block?

guards red 951

yes, they are special coated for alusil.

here is the spec

JET951

nice project guards red 951,
what sort of clearance are you going to be running with those JE pistons? are ther 2618 or 4032 alloy?

since it is a track car, the clearence will be .003"/.07mm.. I get the block back from machine shop today, hope they did a good job. the crankshaft is balanced, and the new pistons and rods are weight adjusted. hope for some assembly this weekend.

the car will also soon have a pretty nice welded in cage, with deleted brake booster and tilton pedal box. pics will come.

So they are bought from Lindsey Racing? Does somebody actually have any experience of those pistons?
If i have understood correctly they dosen't have ferrostan coating like original ones have.

Also what happens if the coating wears off?
Not wishing you anything but 'Great success' (said in Borat's voice) and hope it all goes perfectly for you.

Veery nize! (also in Borat's voice )

I supplied those pistons to a customer last summer but I don't know if that engine is running yet.

Nurburger,

Very nice shade of green( i am green with envy)...reminds me of the Amazon green on the 911's..I have an 86' that i would like to paint that shade!

yes, they are from LR. I know one 951 here in norway have those pistons, he uses the car for racing. And I don't think he has had any problems. the engine got 450hp+

I don't know if they have ferrostan coating.



333pg333: I have not heard of any problems that coating wears off. Lindsey says they opened a engine with wiseco pistons, also coated for alusil. after it had runned 10.000miles, and the pistons and cylinders looked just as good as when they assembled it. I don't think JE is any more bad. they do cost more.

Thanks, I hope it will work out fine


Duke: Thanks. Is he on 944sverige forum?

Olli Snellman

Thats whats worries me. if i had understood correctly there is experience just from one engine so far.

I understand what you mean, and I know there is not many 951 with these pistons. but hey, I am willing to make a try. If the engine don't blow this year, I will look over the pistons and cylinder next winter. I think that will be interesting! If it blows, it blows... then I build a new engine, but not alusil

I think it will work great.

These are over a year old now- I've done some changes since then.
