(08-11-2010, 07:42 PM)stomis Is there a reason you cant reuse the stock pistons if the cylinders are within spec?No. But at the age/mileage of any of the IDI engines I'd be surprised if the ring lands are still within spec limits, especially on the 617.
Quote:Some sort of diesel or MB specific thing?A little 8:1 compression g@sser might get away with a ringjob at 200+k miles. Diesels make 300psi+ every compression stroke, upwards of 700psi at full boost. They are built much stronger than a typical g@s engine but at the same time they have to endure much more stress. 1970's/80's metallurgy can only last so long.
