Carl Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I have a set of r500 forged cosworth pistons that have come out of my R500 as a result of converting to 1.9 DVA block. They are in excellent condition and come with rings and clips. £175 which is silly money if you are after the best pistons!

Steve T Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Carl, I am after upgrading to forged pistons next year on my std bottom end 190bhp K series as modofied by DVA. Would these be a straight fit, apart from the other mods Dave would need to do, if so they would save me some dosh over buying some Omega's? Tentatively interested, I will ping an enquiry to Dave in the mean time. Steve Now with DVA Power! 191bhp and 150.9 lbft torque.

Carl Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hi Steve I forgot to mention in my previous post that the pistons were converted to a floating pin set up by Dave at a previous refresh and therefore they are a straight fit.

Steve T Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hi So are you saying they have had the pins shortened and circlip grooves machined in the pin tunnels to allow them to be fitted fully floating already ? You have any pictures on condition, mileage ? Steve Now with DVA Power! 191bhp and 150.9 lbft torque. My Pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hi Steve Last night I provisionally sold the pistons. If this falls through I will give you a shout. I am not sure what Dave did to convert the pistons to a floating set up but I know he would have done the full works. The pistons have done 14,000 miles and unfortunately I cannot provide any pictures as my lovely wife lost our digital camera the other week when she was a little drunk!
