Could someone recommend some after market pistons for a KZ440A motor.
Im looking to recondition the motor and want to put some oversize aftermarket pistons in, what would you recommend and what is the biggest safe oversize to go to?

many thanks

I've heard of using GS 850/425 pistons but that requires machining the small end of
the rod . My solution in the link below involves an over bore and a milled head.
