Piston Sizes for 2.8 and 2.9 v6's

**robrs2** · 25-09-2004, 15:26

Could anyone help with some size info on pistons for the 2.8 and 2.9. I need to know the height form the center gudgeon pin to the top of the piston.
And the thickness of the piston crowns.
And also the depth of the dish in the 2.9 pistons.
All this info is to build up my 2.1 turbo motor. Don't say use Cossie stuff coz i want to do this cheap and not run mega HP.
