Thread: pistons

Looks like the diesel stuff is going to be hard to get but thanks for the info. I did find JP of no use as well.

A set may set you back about $500 plus rings about $120 or so ..

They have a web site ..easy to find on Google .

REPCO was making them back in the 1960's.. but the experts have told me the REPCO version are dubious with faults .

If you can get them for that price you are doing very well. I had to get a set of Hercules pistons from them back in 2003 and they were over $200 each then. I just got a quote from them for a cooper (chorehorse) piston for about $160. But I have also used thier rings to rebuild a tired Villiers engine for ~$25 with great reslults.
