AA p&c's?

« on: October 19, 2012, 22:28:41 pm »

Hiya,

Has anyone tried the barrel and piston sets from AA?
Tempted to get the 90.5 strokers as there under £180

I did have some forged mahle strokers but the quality wasn't amazing I didn't feel, the barrels looked to be finished with an angle grinder....

I've heard AA have come along way...

It's for a daily driver and the pistons will be anti friction and thermal barrier coated.

Cheers

Andy

I bought some AAs -94mm non stroker. Barrels were oval by way too much, but pistons looked nice.

No, I didn't measure them torqued down.
I bought them at the beginning of this year

I have been running AA forged pistons and cylinders for a few years now in various motors. Never a problem. I always have the cylinders honed to get good skirt clearance. I also wet sand the skirt coating a little and feather the edges of it.
