I was given the same COST for the things listed above.

The oversize piston, rings, and two Tru Arc clips was priced at 159.00

That's why my gasser buddies say they don't want to turn up a diesel.

$159 for one piston with rings?

It's $159 for 8 pistons, and rings w/bearings for a SBC. (atleast close)

But how often do people have to replace pistons in these engines. You and Haulin In Dixie excluded. Alpines case is sorta unusual.

 

Well, just anotehr part that's gone is the radiator. Had a very good look at it today and pressure tested it with 15 psi... pinhead leaks and lots of corrosion. Previous owner had it coated some way to make it look nice so hte corrosion wasn't apparent.
How much would the radiator be in the states?

Thanks!

A Modine from NAPA runs about $550.00. I bought one from Proformance Radiator for about half that. Seems like the freight on that part from here would kill you.

 

Have they got a web address?
Shipping would shure be mean on that part. (But since I need so many other parts )

That would be www.napaonline.com

They do list a parts catalog, so maybe that will help.

Good luck,

Here's Performance's site.

Markus....maybe I haven't been reading all the posts but why are you rebuilding the engine? Just for kicks or did you have a problem?Is there a link to your intial problem

Markus sorry to hear the bad luck, did the piston fail to fuel heat or friction heat, it did mention somewhere that the ring stuck I assume a fluke or were you seeing some high temps before the melt down, I am pushing the limit as far as egt's and was simply wondering if it was driver inflicted or just plain old bad luck.
