david ferry Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 If anyone is interested, I can put you in touch with the current owner of a set of perfect condition but used 92mm pistons, liners and standard length h beam con rods. The rods have big end size for a steel crank. I think that this is likely to be Ford cosworth dimensions. I have yet to establish a price for these from the owner, but I suspect it’s all going to be a bit of a bargain if it’s your bag. These have been removed from an engine that needs to go to 87mm due to regulations. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 92mm - can't be much liner left ! Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 They'll be short liners I should think Bob with the liner spigots which stick into the block removed. The block may require boring to fresh liner shoulders into the block for them to fit and then maybe glued into position. That's how I know one of the methods to fit them, it's what you do if racing but needs commitment if you fancy running them on a road engine. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

james christie Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 2504 cc according to me. james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) 2446cc according to me ! stroke = 9.2cm area = (9.2 /2)squared * pi = 66.476cm squared 66.476 * 9.2 = 611.6cc per pot * 4 = 2446cc Bob. While we are at it 87mm pistons gives 2187cc and 89mm pistons gives 2289cc Edited February 25, 2021 by Lebro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james christie Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Small wonder that Triumph added 2 pistons to get up to these swept volumes. 4 cylinders and nearly 2,5 litres is getting a bit .......Agricultural in design james Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hence my comments about commitment, to run these large sizes on the roads makes it not such a nice drive. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
