New pistons are NLA so I had JE Pistons make 4 forged for overboring the
block. The engine is now a 2,190cc(don't recal the new dia) but it was
determined by what rings are available. Also balanced all the rotating
masses and the result is a smooth engine way past 4,000 rpm, before it was
coarse right around 4 grand, on the other hand due to lack of communication
JE did not offset the piston pin and there is a bit of noise when cold, for
10 bucks more they would have offset the pins. This rather PMOff.
The piston with rings were ~150 ea. about 100 bucks cheaper than OE if they
were still available.

Subject: [Peugeot-L] 505 turbo n9t machining
Hi all,
I'm located in San Jose, CA and I need to find a good place to do some
machining work on my n9t that's currently being rebuilt. I've got
everything apart and I'd like to take the head to get checked out and have a
valve job done and whatever else it needs, valve seals ,etc.(maybe some head
work on a flow bench if I'm lucky? Hmm) I've got the block apart and would
like to get the cylinders honed straight and
have it checked out. I'd like a place that comes well recommended and
may have had some experience already with this motor. I'm also looking for
a place that will treat me well and give me some guidance through the
process because this is the first time I've rebuilt a motor.
Basically I'm just wondering if anybody has recommendations for a machine
shop in the bay area. Thanks for any hints or suggestions that you may
have!
P.S. - 2 cracked pistons, #1 and #3. Minor cracks in between the
compression rings. I guess it's time to take it a little easier on the
motor after the rebuild, and better yet find some real engine management
;-).
