WTB: SR8 2.7l RPX Cosworth pistons wanted
Looking for SR8 2.7l RPX Cosworth pistons. This is 81mm bore with 18mm pin and for the 65mm gen2 stroke and std rod length of 119.5mm
CR is around 12:1 and the same piston may have been used also on the 4-Cyl versions.
new used doesn’t matter, would need one spare in good condition.
Hi @vhtracing, y understanding is that these parts are made specifically for Radical and Radical only sells them to Radical certified engine shops. I don’t think it is the same piston that is used in the 1340 engines, but I think I have a few used 1340 pistons around that are in pretty good shape if that would help.
@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com yes I am very well aware of how all this works. And I know it is a long shot, but was thinking that there must be people out there with broken 2.7l’s that could possible have a spare for me. I also would not mix and match pistons usually, but if the Cosworth build quality is good and precise from set to set what I expect maybe I could use another piston from another engine. Maybe you can send me a photo of the 4-Cyl 1340 Cosworth piston I can see if it looks the same at least from picture?
@vhtracing, I am traveling for a few more days, but I will post some pictures as soon as I get back.
Hi Mikko,
I will most likely have a used one somewhere. Do you know if it is the left or right hand oil jet cut out you require? Do you have DLC coated piston pins?
