The machinist that is working on my project GT6 was kind enough to source
parts at a discount for this project and when he called Venolia about 

Pistons they told him they only make them on a custom basis. The person he
spoke with even asked for specs.

Is this how everyone else get's their pistons from Venolia ? If Venolia gets
to be a problem can anyone suggest a source for forged pistons ?

Thanks as always,

Jim Gray

Yes, that's the way it has always been for me.  I give them a job # and they make them to that spec.  I guess there are so many variations that this makes you take 
on the responsibility of which pistons you order.

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=

Some manufacturers I=E2=80=99d contacted required a minimum order of piston=

 pistons for a 1936 V-twin motorcycle engine for a very reasonable price.
