    Default BEAMS Blacktop aftermarket pistons?

    G'day all,

    Just found out that there is an issue with one of the bores in one of my BEAMS motors. So far there are only a few options I have found for aftermarket high compression pistons. TODA seems to be the leader here, but only offers 12.6:1 +1mm pistons in oversize high compression form. As I'll be running E85 in a race motor, I was thinking even higher compression would be good, and if I can get +0.5mm oversize, that would be handy and give me room to rebore again if necessary later.

    Does anyone know of pistons that might fit that bill?
    Cheers, Owen

    Need to be able to tag people like on friendface...

    Fortunately the 'unknown condition suspect spare' motor turns smoothly by hand and seems to have good compression.

    86.5 bore fits in the 2% rule so is good. Whats the damage on a set of pistons and rods? What cam specs do you recommend with them?
