LUIS COLCHETE Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hi! Where i can find new STD pistons for Datsun 1200 and maybe new conecting rods at a good price Many thanks, Luis Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Did you have the bores checked to see if they are too worn? If too worn (oval, tapered or just worn out) standard pistons will be too loose and the rings won't seal properly. Quote Link to comment
LUIS COLCHETE Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hi! Yes... The block it is in perfect conditions.. As i said i have good used pistons (but are unmarked), so im looking for new ones Please advice me a store or something else Many thanks, Luis Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Why not use the used pistons? Quote Link to comment
LUIS COLCHETE Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Im thinking about it.... I can re-use the pins? The pistons have pins on it. I must take them off and put them on used unmarked conecting rods... Or i must buy new pins?? Thanks, Luis Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 New STD pistons are going to be difficult to find. Quote Link to comment
Morrisun Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 LUIS: Here is a link to new 1200 standard size 73mm pistons, in your part of the world-Athens, Greece Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-1000-Cherry-Sunny-1200-A10-73mm-pistons-set-rings-pins-Kolben-NEW-/251599558971?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a9480993b Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Look somewhat used... and why are the rings installed? Quote Link to comment

Morrisun Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 New standard pistons instead of the desired flat top, less than pretty ones from Athens... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-B110-1200-A12-1200cc-Engine-1970-1973-New-Engine-Pistons-L61-4360-STD-/351221766950?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item51c672db26&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment
LUIS COLCHETE Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hi! I will re-use my flat top pistons, or i will buy a standard ones... But first i will see the Member photos Quote Link to comment
LUIS COLCHETE Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hi! Please advice-me. As i said on forum, i have some flat top pistons in good conditions without conecting rods. In other way i have some conecting rods with normal pistons. All pistons have pins. My question is, Can i re use the pin pistons? And put the flat pistons on conecting rods. Or i must buy new pistons with new pins and assembly on my conecting rods? Another question, give me the best way to assembly the pistons on conecting rods Many thanks Luis Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 If the pins are in good shape that can be re-used. They have to be pressed onto the rods. A shop with a press can do this. Quote Link to comment
LUIS COLCHETE Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hi! I m expecting my new standard pistons and pins (not flat) that i bought from ebay. My cylinder head is H728 from a A14 Datsun B210gx (from California) that i bought I dont know how are the pistons from B210Gx? I dont have them... My doubt is: the valves will hit the standard pistons that i bought. Thanks Luis Quote Link to comment
LUIS COLCHETE Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 By the way where i can see the cylinder marks on conecting rods? and i can see any mark number on it I have two extra spares of conecting rods to assembly my extra engine and i will choose the better ones. I will weight them and i will see the 5grs tolerance between them Early A12 block with a A14 cylinder head. I dont check them, but at first impression they match. The water and oil passengers i think they have the same size passengers. Please give your opinions and knowledges Quote Link to comment
LUIS COLCHETE Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hi i ve just seen the conecting rod marks on one pair of conecting rods that i have Quote Link to comment
