[Fot] TR6 forged pistons wanted

[Michael Zbarsky]

Thanks All for responses. I’ll follow up on some individually. Going with 2500 instead of 2000 as I have most of the 2500 components already. Block, head, crank etc. When I blow this one up I’ll build a 2000!
Mike

Good comments Bob.  Tullius ended up running the smaller 6 in his Group 44 TR6 and dropping down a class.  Very competitive.

 Hi - I hope you get some good offers, but the other responses I've seen so far are more likely to pan out: British Frame and Engine, APTFast, TSImported, etc.
I'm sure I'm not the only one out there that has the situation, but I have several partial sets - .020 over, .050 over from broken engines. The .050 overs were from a TR6 running SCCA GT3 motor - the driver broke TWO pistons. In theory, you can get matching pistons for those sets from the manufacturers, but good luck finging a job number or other info. that you could use to get one or two pistons cut to complete a set. Especially, if the pistons are 20+ years old.

If you wind up getting a custom set, my advice is to spend some extra $$$ and get 8, that way you have a couple of spares for the next engine which will be needed if/when you break a crank or chuck a rod.
Also, seems to me you should be looking at building a GT6 engine - it is much more forgiving if you want to spin the engine fast, like more than 6000. Going for huge power is over-rated unless you just want to spend a lot of $$$.

Just sayin'.

 Anyone have a set kicking around they’d part with? Or suggestions on where to source them?
Thanks, Mike ZTriumph 2000 race car (in need of engine)
