38 ES 2 Piston ?

Forums

I think it's time for a re-bore on the 38 ES 2 motor

The only pistons I can find are  48 on.Nothing for the pre war Singles

I understand the GPM piston just needs the skirt trimmed a little, is this correct.

What are others using?

Thanks

Ian

Yes. You will need to trim the skirt to miss the flywheels. I set it up on an angle plate on the lathe cross slide and made a tool to mount on the face plate to fly cut the radius on the under side of the piston. 

I used a length of bar the same diameter as the small end, cross drilled at each end as close to the piston as possible. The piston s flat topped so it would clamp directly against this. I found a length of ground bar in my odds and ends so this was perfect.
