R2 Forged Pistons

Recommended Posts

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.

I think you can get pistons from Fairborn Studebaker in Ohio. Phil Harris, ‭(937) 878-1576‬

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.

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.

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
