Are the badger pistons part number 40010f-030 cast pistons or hypereutectic pistons?

 

They are cast pistons.

 

Thank you very much

 

I bought some Badger pistons for mine, that I had a machine shop install. I ordered .030 over pistons from Tim Meyer and he told me that this was the last set of .030 overs that he had, and they had to be shipped from Carolina. I ordered them, and when they came in I took them to the machine shop and they mic'd in at .037, so I had to re-bore my block to .040 over.

I think they are going to work out fine and I am glad I bought them, but make sure on the size before you bore the block. I am just glad I didn't order .040 overs and get 0.30 overs.

 

The Badger pistons do run about .0025" min.

But I'm sorry to hear you got a mis-boxed set of pistons. Hopefully everything worked out OK.

I apologize for any problems this may have caused.

We had 1 of our custom pistons, the pin bore was incorrect, and of course
that set ended up overseas.

The pistons we have on hand I have learned to inspect before we ship them out. I would like to add that Badger was fantastic in correcting the matter.

 

Don't worry, I think everything worked out fine. It was confusing because these were stamped ".030" on top of the pistons, but they mic'd to .037, so I have to have the block re-bored to .040 over. No big deal, really.

But I have had several people, when the motor was being built, act very surprised that I was able to get a set of these. I gave 2-3 people your number and told them to contact you about ordering some. Apparently, cast flattop pistons for these motors are rare around here...

 

I have a set of badger flat tops .030" over and rings I'm not using but haven't listed them yet on e-bay. email me if you are interested.

 

No I need .040 over.
