Wossner make a 3.8L piston (2618) and machine in cylinder set also that saw heavy use in the late 90's/early 2000's in many club racing engine rebuilds both as turbo and NA applications. These engines were heavily abused at a time when 993's were not so valuable. Charles, what's your take on the P&C option from Wossner when compared with your Nickies/Mahle sets?

I firmly believe that a Mahle/Mahle, Nickies/Mahle, or Capricorn would be a better choice over the Wossners. We use JE/CP/Mahle exclusively for our pistons with Nickies.

nothing crazy (except the $$); solid 6M dollar man style, bullet proof build.
Dave is on point here. The RSR pistons are great and work well with stock heads or built heads and quite a few different off the shelf camshafts. The Pauter rods I have FS are also great and compare to the Carillo's mentioned. Both are a excellent and leap's and bound better than the stock rods at handling more rpm and torque.
