JerryVan Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Working on a 1910, Model 10, and needing an original, cast iron, standard size piston in good condition. 3-3/4" bore size. Hoping to get a usable piston and not have to replace all 4 with new aluminum ones. Nothing against aluminum, just would be nice to replace the one piston and be done on an otherwise excellent engine.<!-- google_ad_section_end --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete K. Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Jerry, have you tried EGGE Machine Shop? They used to have a good variety of parts stuck away for some early Buick's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryVan Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Pete,Yes, EGGE used to have many early parts "on the shelf", until several years back when they swept the shelves clean for only the most popular makes/models. They will custom make these pistons, as I understand, but then so will Ross and some others. Was just hoping for a drop-in replacement piston that wouldn't require all 4 new pistons, etc. My thought was that someone out there had an engine rebuilt and might have kept the old cast iron pistons around.

Pete K. Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Jerry, I see your point very well. I also think you WILL find that piston, sooner than later! That's too bad about EGGE. There are a few folks that have these auto's and parts that aren't on the computer at all. Try Hemmings, not for the piston, but for a gent that is selling an early Buick and call him. Best of luck, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
