Hepolite 19320 pistons question - fit

Post by green1071 »

Hello All:

Could anyone answer or point me in the right direction for detailed information.

Will Hepolite 19320 pistons, .060/1.524, bore 2.780"/70.612mm, BH38069, fit a 1964 1071 engine?

They are brand new in the original box yet - BUT no rings. Where can a person get rings?

How much are they worth? I'm looking to buy for a engine rebuild.

Thanks!

Hello

Yes they fit a 1071 and they are very good pistons .

But original ring sets are very difficult to find for them now .

Be careful with 1071 blocks , the pistons were very close to the top of the block when new, 50+ years later after many rebuilds it is very common for the pistons to out the top of block

In the UK try F.W. Thornton of Telford. Give them the dimensions and they will be able to advise.
If in the US see Deves or Grants.
But note prices for rare or NLA rings tend to be comparatively high.
