Pistons

[tonkota]

Where is the best place to buy pistons/rings for a late model 2F? Ideally, I'd love to run Toyota stuff again, but I doubt I can afford it.

Can I run Toyota rings in a non-Toyota piston?

Are 3F pistons the same?

I have to bore it out 1mm. That will give me a 4.319 litre

Thoughts? Options?

Thanks,

One last question:

What is the difference between the early 2F pistons and late model 2F pistons?

 

[Godwin]

Early are domed, later are flat topped.

Early are domed, later are flat topped.

Does that mean that they would increase my compression ratio?

Try Deve's for rings. They are great! http://www.deves.com/devesrings/cars_TOYOTA.html .

I think that it would also depend on what head you had. Replacing a FT piston with a domed, you MAY run into problems with clearance in the cumbustion chamber. There's been alot of threads started on that subject, but I haven't every really seen a solid answer.

I am currently rebuilding my 77 2F (1st time ever rebuilding) and bought my rings from SOR which were manufactured by DEVES (set #1973). Let me know if it is cheaper to by direct.

I meant BUY

You could try Geoff Walsh Engine parts in Australia as well. I got my 3B rebuild kit from them and it was very complete. It's not OEM Toyota though.

Ok, I can't remember where but there is an outfit that supplies rebuild kit for the forklift scene and I can't remember the name. Hit the LCML and I know that it will come up. I will see if i can find a link.

Are you talking about PAC-Lift?

I rebuilt my 2F recently, used Federal-Mogul pistons and Sealed Power rings...

I've got a set of rings for an f that came from specter in like 92 they are in the box never opened. Found them in my cruiser when I bought it in a huge box full of seals and gaskets and stuff. If they can be of some use to you let me know.
