54Illinois Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 I bought this engine the other day. I pulled the head, looks good, but the pistons look different from the other two motors. Just curious as to if these indicate a rebuild. Hard to see, but the one piston close up is stamped STD. Quote
TodFitch Posted December 16, 2011 Report Posted December 16, 2011 Can't say they did not change over the years and '54 is quite a bit later than '33, but when I first opened up my engine the pistons had CPDP stamped on them and they were standard size. So I took them to be original. Quote
54Illinois Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Posted December 18, 2011 Pulled the oil pan today. They have been replaced. Looking from under, the pistons are bright and shiny. Quote
