New Pistons for D2 5J - Who wants to buy some?

They would be for a D3400 Cat engine which that D2 uses and they are 3 3/4" bore engines.

I would be interested in (4) if they are available oversize and dependent on price.

I would take a set if the where priced right

Didn't the early D2's have the D311 engine? And what about sleeves? Would these be .020 over and we would have to bore the old sleeves???

Early D2s were the D3400 engine. I am targeting stock size at first. I put new liners in my engine. I can ask about oversize when that time comes.

So, there are enough new liners around? Would be a shame to get new std pistons and then can't find liners when needed. And rings? Would it be cheaper to rebore old liners a little bigger than buy new liners. There should be no difference in making std or .020 pistons. Just a thought.

Yes I will inquire. I just want to see if they will do anything first, then I will ask about O/S. Is .020 the typical oversize?

John, can I put you on the list that want some (O/S of course)?

There is a company here in Australia caled J.P Pistons that makes pistons sets for the D2/ D4 pony motors, I got a set 3 weeks ago. I'm 99% certain they cast them all 80 thou oversize, then machine them down to your required size.
Based on current exchange rates it is about $US110 per barrel for piston, rings and gudgeon pin.
If sleeves are hard to find or expensive, it probably makes sense to bore the originals and go for oversize pistons.
Good luck with the project.
