[WTB] KLDE Pistons - Full set w/ Connecting rods
Pretty much as the title says.. fishing around to see if anyone has a set of OEM ones laying around they want to get rid of. I am in no real hurry here.. just thought I would check the waters here before checking probetalk & some of the other sites where these might be more common. Lemme know what ya got and how much.. pics would be a VERY cool bonus. Thanks

Re: [WTB] KLDE Pistons - Full set w/ Connecting rods
I picked up a KLDE cheap.. also got the 5spd with it out of a 626. Got the wiring harness.. would have the brain too but my brother was a dumbazz and left it in the car when we took it to the wreckyard. The trans is in excellent shape. The engine.. eh.. it has great compression.. but a nasty tap/knock sound coming from the front bank of pistons.. too loud & high up to be a rod knock we think.. likely a cracked piston. And this theory holds true when considering that the previous owner of the car was driving it around with seized rear brakes
But.. this car had awesome maintenance records and still blew 190 on 5 cylinders and 210 on the last one. Sooo.. if all I have to do is replace a piston.. refresh the seals n rings.. timing belt & water pump.. I can do a cheap DE upgrade into my GS for a couple of weekends worth of work. Figured I could use some highend fancy shmancy rings when I do the job in case I ever want to turbo it ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
But that is why I said I am not in any hurry.. I have to crack open the engine and find out exactly what is wrong with it before I can finalize any plans. I mainly bought the car ($300) for the 5spd. And I aint workin on that engine in the cold of my carport
Going to be a month or two before I get too it.
Short4stuff: I will show those pics to my machinist and see what he says. I cant view the thread on probetalk cause I only have 11 posts there LOL How much are you asking for the set?

Erik, does the tap go away when warm? Could be some collapsed lifters

The close up shows the three pistons that are scuffed. The other three are fine.
Asking 50$

Re: [WTB] KLDE Pistons - Full set w/ Connecting rods
Trust me man.. this is so loud the only thing it can be is something bottom end related. Lifters would be way faster in tempo too. This is happening at ignition. Its possible it could still be a rod knock.. which would be bad news if I have to replace the crank.. the project will be DOA before I even get started LOL But thats ok.. I mainly got the 626 for the transmission.does the tap go away when warm? Could be some collapsed lifters

I have a bolck with all six in it. It spins freely.
We all want to be fast and look cool. Cool changes but fast never does.
Re: [WTB] KLDE Pistons - Full set w/ Connecting rods
I have a set of ZE pistons with new standard bore rings if you would be interested. $75 + Shipping. Also have a set of heads, PM me if you are interested in either.
