Title: 31cu piston and rings
Post by: conductor_81 on January 29, 2013, 08:28:49 pm
Where is a good place to get a 31cu ohv piston, rings, and gasket kit for and engine. Helping out a fellow racer and his piston has a very small piece broken out of the second ring groove. It is about 1/16 of an inch long so i figure we better replace the piston. When that piece broke it also cracked the ring so he needs rings. I looked at them threw work but seemed a bit high. The engine is going in his
Mod-X-R. Thanks for the info in advance.

CHECK AROUND FOR A DEALER THAT SELLS THEM AT MSRP. MOST DEALERS SELL ABOVE MSRP. OR TALK TO WORK AND SEE IF THEY WILL SELL YOU ENGINE PARTS AT DEALER COST FOR YOUR RACERS. ;D

Yea Im working on the dealer cost on parts at work now. They arent to sure yet. I dont understand why they arent sure but we will see what happens. My local dealer was 15 bucks higher than I can buy it at work for. It is 78 bucks for the piston and rings. I just thought maybe I could find them a bit cheaper for this guy to help him out.

Me either. Unless I find a used piston that is good they arent cheap. Nothing else seems to be cheap either. But owell we pay to play.
