[Healeys] 100-4 flat top pistons (10:1)

[Carlos Cruz]

Hi Allen,

Have you tried Medina Motorsports (http://www.medinamotorsports.com/) or 800-700-7057.  I believe my pistons came from Bob Yule at AutoFarm (http://www.autofarm.net/autofarm/home.aspx) up in Canada.  There's also Custom Pistons (http://cppistons.com/)  Or JE Pistons (http://www.jepistons.com/)

Do a Google search on custom pistons and a slew of sites come up.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Carlos

Am building race engine for Pocono (April 11th) and have run against snag. Dennis Welch Motorsports is back ordered 4-6 wks on the flat top 88mm pistons, which requires my sourcing a set of racing pistons elsewhere. if anyone on the list has had a custom set fabricated by JE Pistons or a similar piston maker, i would appreciate the specs and/or order # so i could piggyback off the design specs? am sticking with the stock wrist pins (floating in piston, clenched to con rod).

alternately, if anyone knows of a set for sale somewhere, would be very interested.

also interested in speaking with anyone with experience

engine is otherwise in the works, and i am loathe to use my existing set of 0.20" over M-spec (shallow dish) pistons a stopgap measure, since it means building a second short block for a single season's use.

also could use input from anyone with information as to locations and depths for valve relief pockets.

thanks.

allen miller
