Custom piston manufacturers are exactly that, they make pistons to customer=
s specs.
Give them numbers, they supply the rest.
Some of the info that they will want in addition to the basic bore is skirt=
type, dome configuration, offset if any, compression height, ring width & =
backspace, top ring land width, pin specs, etc etc. Also be absolutely sure=
of your finished bore size, and be clear on the piston to wall clearances,=
it's always best to have the pistons done to slightly oversize, so the las=
t few thou can be taken out of the bore in the final honing to get the corr=
ect clearances. Then of course the ring end gap has to be considered as wel=
l.
This, or as has been mentioned, a job sheet number.
I deal primarily with JE but the others are pretty much the same.

I=E2=80=99ve ordered a few times from them. The first time I sent the a pi=
ston to measure and they replicated it exactly other than bore diameter, an=
d most recently I knew the job number for the piston order make ten years a=
go by the previous owner, so I just gave them that number and the 0.040=E2=
=80=9D overbore size I wanted.

Some manufacturers I=E2=80=99d contacted required a minimum order of piston=
s or a certain dollar minimum. Venolia was willing to sell me just two new=
pistons for a 1936 V-twin motorcycle engine for a very reasonable price.

Is this how everyone else get=E2=80=99s their pistons from Venolia ? If Ven=

Thanks as always,
