squonk 41,164 #3 Posted January 1, 2021 Check the actual sizes before using. A .030 piston may be .0285325....! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No specific engine parts to speak of Paul. I've used Sten's parts for ... boy... 25 or 30 years I guess. Like any aftermarket parts company it's a good idea to inspect everything you purchase. Overall I've had great luck with every single piece I've gotten. In fact I've had some O. E. parts in Sten's packaging. I wouldn't hesitate to use them. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,644 #6 Posted January 2, 2021 I've only bought a couple things from Stens. It was 2 glass sediment bowls/housings. Each bowl had to be sanded to fit before use. Other then that, no issues. Great service, and prompt shipping. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is why my machinist has me bring him the new pistons before he punches the hole out. A very good practice. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richmondred01 2,237 #10 Posted January 6, 2021 You must have an account and procure a fixed dollar amount of parts on a quarterly basis. At least that’s the way it was several years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
