Pistons

[slow95z]

Need to bore an engine and get new pistons sadly... Other Tha. JE and Toyota what are my options? Wouldn't mind bumping the CR up a bit but not needing forged.

LC engineering has set for our trucks they sell lots yota stuff for mini truck engines, I do not know if you can get separate or if you have to buy there engine kit, I think they were made in Taiwan, they are cheaper option then yota. Better idk, last as long who knows

There are quite a few of cheaper options. Is this just to get by?

I have no experience or affiliation with these companies but they do 1FZ pistons

Wow, thanks. I know lc has them but they only sell as a kit. This isn't a just get by deal. I am doing a full rebuild on this truck to use for camping and I want it to work. I have play toys but this needs to be dependable. Thanks for the list. Was about to message you on Facebook anyways lol.

LC Engineering uses the Safety pistons in their set. SO I guess they might be ok.

man the safety and dnj websites are terrible and rock auto doesnt have any of the 20 over pistons in stock. i am fine with waiting and i really like RA parts and service so i added my name to the notify list. i just cant spend 900+ on pistons and rings when i can get a used, running, engine for that much.

Hey slow95z,

I know it’s been some years but what Pistons/rings did you end up getting for your engine rebuild? I’m about to do my ‘94 LC engine and can’t seem to find any sets under ~$1000.
