Cylinder Plating to Matched Piston ??
Hi,
I have a '06 EC300 that has a lot of hours on it without a top end rebuild. Is there any good shops that can do the replating and also proper fit a new piston to it? Maybe I'm making to much of this, but when I read about A and B sizes and cylinder wear and clearance and cast vs. forged.....well my little brain hurts. I love my GG. I don't have money to burn but I would rather do it once right. Any comments, thoughts, or recommendation's? Thanks GasGasDreamer

Thanks for the lead.
My concern is proper piston to cylinder clearance. I think its different for cast pistons vs. forged pistons. And then there is the A or B size [I think I see 3/4 of a capital A stamped on the cylinder base]. Am I making this harder than it needs to be [I tend to do that]. Sorry for my confusion. Someone suggested I just throw some rings in but I have heard, and think, that the piston gets fatigued over time. So while it may look fine it is just a problem that is waiting to happen.

My recommendation is to purchase an "A" piston and have it lined to match. This way, it is "known" and you can start fresh. Next piston to go in would (potentially) be a "B" piston, depending on cylindricity of the bore. These guys are pros, you don't get a good reputation by not having a clue about your job. Langcourt, Powerseal, Millennium Technologies, all reputable companies with years of experience and thousands of satisfied customers.

My old 200 had a Wiseco & I replaced it with such. The 300 had a Vertex std I think & replaced it with a Wossner. Wossner was cheapest here & looked like a nicely forged piston, I'd buy another no doubt, but I haven't pulled it out.
