Cologne piston and ring sizes.
Sorry first of all for any layman terms, this is the first engine I've actually stripped to nothing. (Done some work on a pinto but nothing too major)
Upon stripping I have found issues with on of the bores, Some very bad pitting. Possible due to corrosion.
Having used a bore gauge to determine the rough size of the bores is 93.15mm with the adversely affected area touching 93.35-93.40mm I am looking to get away with standard piston but larger rings to compensate after a re-bore to 93.525mm. (As per Haynes manual)
Question is, is 0.25mm on either side of the piston too much of a gap? I mean they sell 93.5mm piston ring sets for 93mm pistons so I can only imagine it would be? If it is that's great as I wouldn't like to spend £500 on a set of new 94mm pistons.
Any help would be great. (Graham) 😂

Re: Cologne piston and ring sizes.
if you rebore you will need need new bigger pistons,
if its only one cylinder you could get away with having a liner fitted and reusing your old pistons with new rings

So why do they make 93.5mm rings for 93mm pistons?

Re: Cologne piston and ring sizes.
93.5 will be for oversize pistons
