Anybody have a piston?

There's a guy here at work that has a scooter (hehehe) piston that he sets on top of his computer. I think he's trying to be a show off with it.

I'd like to have an ISB piston to set on top of my computer. It'll stand-out like swatting a fly with a sledge hammer. This is if anyone can part with one. Slightly damaged one is OK.

Thanks for helping me "learn" this feller. ;D

Re:Anybody have a piston?

I dont have a piston.
But I do have a Cummins wrist pin sitting on my office desk from a 19L Cummins engine that was torn down at the local Cummins shop.
The engine came from one of our "local" open pit mines and was a generator.
The wrist pin is 5-1/4" tall, 2-1/2" wide.
The wall of the wrist pin is 5/8" of an inch thick.
The wrist pin wieghs in at 6-1/2 lbs.

Rich.

I don't have one from the beloved 5.9 but here is one out of my 1950 R model John Deere diesel.

Re:Anybody have a piston?

I'm not looking to buy, I'm just wondering if someone had some old piston from a torn down motor that they had no use for, maybe they could send it to me C.O.D. (I'll pay the shipping of course). That wrist pin sounds interesting, but I want something that won't break my computer, hehehe. ;D

Thumper - how are 6 pistons that are hardly used, brand new?

Re:Anybody have a piston?

I might be able to find one out of an engine we just rebuilt. It is a KTA-50 Cummins. The piston diameter is 6 1/8" and weighs 10.5 lbs.

Re:Anybody have a piston?

Go to your local Cummins shop - or any diesel repair shop. They usually have stuff lying around you can have and no postage.

Get one out of a large commercial truck, then mark it as out of your 5.9. ;D
