MG O series turbo piston needed ASAP or a set, due to melted piston
Hi Painter. Are you looking for standard or oversize pistons? I've got a standard set taken out of my turbo which would do as a stopgap - the ring lands are not ideal, but are still useable
Also, if you get offered more (as I was) there are some people out there who think they have turbo pistons, but they are actually out of another O-series engine. The clincher is the split rings retaining the gudgeon pin - no other O-series engine has these. (It's caveat emptor and all that!)
Cheers
Pete

Hi Pete I have already done a deal with tonyrs but my brother is also after a set of standard size, do you have any pics.
thanks painter
Hi, Just taken pic below. As you can see they will need the crowns cleaning, and I can only find two of the split rings at the mo' - the others have gone walk-about, but they are around somewhere! Let me know what you think!
