Reply With QuoteNo... I dont think anyone has weighed them yet. There was a thread about piston weights not long ago. There were a few pistons with there weights recorded but no GZE.
I have some too weigh but dont have the scales to do it!
ZE piston weight
Just got thinking after this post that a set of late ZE pistons and a shaved head could be a nice, economical basis for a good NA motor..
I don't suppose anyone knows what the late ZE pistons weight in at?

They're quite a bit heavier than regular GE pistons though Isuspect, being forged.
Re: ZE piston weight
why do you want such low compression?
Re: ZE piston weight
I seem to recall the pistons from my ZE weren't that heavy, but didn't think to weight them. Unfortunately, they are in a car now

Re: ZE piston weight
If you mill the head, you can get around 11:1 from a 9:1 piston.

Re: ZE piston weight
ah ok, thats where i thought you were going, but the thread you mentioned only showed around 9.4:1 as the "new" CR.
mind the squish areas!
Re: ZE piston weight
That's with 0.023" taken off, if you take off 0.050" off you get a heap more squish area:

Re: ZE piston weight

Re: ZE piston weight
..........piston weight for GZE AE92 0.5mm oversize
about 305grams
pin weight = 100grams
total, about 405 grams
the pins are also 4mm wall thickness...

Not that you need it but "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to oldcorollas again."
Thanks - That's 5g less than the weight of the silvertop 20v pistons I've got in the shed...

Re: ZE piston weight

Re: ZE piston weight
I just checked again:
There might be a couple of grams of oil in there and it's standard size, but the weight is close.

Re: ZE piston weight
Just found this thread on club4ag. It looks like the blacktop pistons are heavier than the silvertop ones! I didn't expect that - particularly with the thinner rods...
