heyitsrama Posted August 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 10, 2016 Howdy, Attemping to verify the end gaps on the piston has got me confused. I attempted to put an ITM standard bore ring to measure the end gap, its around 1.70mm which is HUGE! I even went to another store, and got another set of ITM rings, and the end gap is still +1.56mm, when i put the standard top on in that came on the motor origionally its closer to 0.38mm, like a can fit maybe a strand of hair into the end gap. Is there something wrong with the brand? Or is that normal for ITM? i cant find any information regarding it online, but I assumed stock bore, ill go with stock end gap size....

Zed Head Posted August 11, 2016 Share #3 Posted August 11, 2016 Many (most?) overbore pistons come with a stamp indicating size on the top. STD, .010. 020. etc. Nissan might use 0.5 mm, 1mm, 2mm. Any marks on yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the '020H' indicates that its an overbore? although, when im googling around i cant find anything so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Head Posted August 11, 2016 Share #6 Posted August 11, 2016 I found a STD Repco. You're probably right on the 020. Probably .020". 20 thousandths. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-4-New-Standard-Size-Repco-Pistons-w-Rings-Pins-Fits-Datsun-510-521-/311549667486?fits=Make%3ADatsun&hash=item4889cea89e:g:BnsAAOSwll1Wuz66&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
