John C Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Hello everyone, I'm rebuilding my R2 and am looking for a source for forged pistons. I need flat tops +0.030. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, John C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschuc Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I think you can get pistons from Fairborn Studebaker in Ohio. Phil Harris, (937) 878-1576 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 If you're going to the expense of upgrading to forged pistons, do yourself a favor and upgrade to a modern ring package so you can use thinner low friction rings and/or zero gap 2nd rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Posted May 19 Author Report Share Posted May 19 Thanks for the recommended supplier and ring set up. I broke three piston skirts last time out and don't want to do it again. John C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63R1388 Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 I used Race Tec pistons in my R1 as I wasn’t happy with the cast option available thru SI. They had all the patterns and only needed to know what CR and oversize I wanted Race Tec Huntington Beach, CA 714-903-4362 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
