JE Forged piston group buy?
« on: Friday,October 01, 2021, 12:34:17 PM »
Spoke with JE today about forged pistons for Renault Cross-Flow engines.
Price is steep, but gets better with an order for twenty-four pieces.
That would be six sets.
LA Sleeve can make the liners if needed.
I know there are pistons available from Euro sources but the exchange rates are not great and I have some concern with "NOS" as aluminum can grow and deteriorate over time.
My intent has been to send one of my domed pistons as a sample for duplication.
They are not extreme and the car was street driven.
Since any size may be done a slight oversize would allow original liners to be over-bored.

Any possible interest?
If so I will look into the sleeve pricing too.

Not seeing a lot of interest so far.
I will send off one of my pistons after I get the engine apart.
Then I will be able to get accurate quotes.
Thinking +.020" over so as to be able to reuse original sleeves.
Any machine shop that does motorcycles should be able to do the sleeves.
