Cylinder Woes

[Carl2]

Hello, I have a set of 2lt e cylinders. 4 are like new 2 are not due to water damage. I searched for some good second hand ones but no luck yet. I don't want to buy a new set of 6.
What are my options?
Oversized pistons? Where from?
Re-sleeve?
Or does any one have some they want to sell me?
Need to get my engine back together.

HI Carl2

how bad is the water damage,
what are the cylinders on your engine, cast or cast inner with a All'y outer fins,
as a may have some odd ones that my match up to what you have,
will need the Hight group and honing size of the bottom of the cylinder
or send me a photo of the damaged cylinders.

regards mike

The water damage was quite bad. Would take more than a light honing to sort.
I also have some other ones that are out of spec.
Cast inner with a All'y outer fins. They are 80ZD3 height group 5.
If you need pics of them i'll sort that on Monday.
Thanks

All help gratefully received.

Anybody?

Carl,

My system doesn't open the images you have posted but if you cylinders match in terms of height groups then you will probably have to bore them to 81mm and fit new pistons.

I think I may have a set sitting on a shelf and will check in the morning.

[Carl2]

OK. Let me know what you've got.

[fetuhoe]

I do have some 81mm pistons in stock (Omega) but they have the dome profile to suit a 2.2 cylinder head so they won't work with a 2.0 litre head as the compression ratio will be too low.

I can source new 81mm 2.0 'S' pistons if this helps.

My engine is an E though.
