Cathal Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hi all . I have a built 5e with ross pistons on scat rods. Cyl1 has failed turnes out that the piston has det marks and tiny cracks on the intake side. Anyway does anyone no for sure if i can replace the ross pistons with wossner piston using the same scat rods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 As long as you replace them with the same diameter pistons they should be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cathal Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Good stuf. Are the pins defo the same do u no Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 not sure on the pins to be honest, not seen both to compare. i'd imagine you'll need to use wossner pins on wossner pistons, ross pins on ross pistons etc. tolerances are probably different. just make sure you get pins and circlips when you buy a new set of pistons if you havent already Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chief Quimby Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Make sure, they are the same weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cathal Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Yea i understand that. But what i mean is will the wossner pins fit the scat rods that i already have Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sbk replica Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 not to sure if i would do that mate, if the piston is different on top and has a slight different Compression because of that or it might have a different weight, jou will have a miss balance in your engine, in my opinion never mix pistons around even if they fit.
