: : OK e12ers, here's the situation:
: : 3.5 in my e12 with the following setup:
: : 1. 282 Schrick cam and valve springs
: : 2. 10 to 1 euro pistons
: What type of pistons are you using?
: Where did you get them?
: How much? if you don't mind.
They are factory cast pistons used in the 84 to 88 3.5 euro motor (218 hp, 92x86).
I bought them through Bavarian Autosport. If I remember correctly, they were around 720 for the set. Trust me, I called everywhere and that was the best I could do.
They are the 2nd oversize. You could use the standard size and over bore a 3.3 block. That works great.
