6.2 pistons
Having a hard time finding pistons for a 2005 Mercruiser 6.2 ,
anyone have any recommendations? thanks |
Might get some more replies if you explain what you have going on?
You rebuilding? Need one for a budget repair because just one is damaged? I'd guess the stock ones are just hypereutectic. And I believe the 350, 6.2/377, and even the 4.3 might of used the same piston. My first thought in a factory LKQ rebuild replacement without the price gouging of Mercury would be Silvolite. |

rebuilding a engine with a bad piston, Merc has discontinued the piston, it is a piston made specifically for a 6.2,
4.3-5.0-5.7 all use a different piston as skirt is longer hard piston to find I am sure demand is low, but Silvolite is about the only ones offering it from my finding, had to order a complete set as you cant buy just one which is best i replace all anyways. Thanks |

I don't know if this is an option for you, but lookup www.dssracing.com
I just bought a semi custom set of pistons from them for my race car. Forged right here in Chicago, USA. |

How soon are you looking for an answer? I had 7 of them at one point and they may still be in my garage.

Got a buddy that recently had a 6.2 rebuilt as it had a smoked piston. If tmmii doesn't come thru I can ask him if the builder gave him back any of the parts. He ended up making a 383 out of it.

Thanks I missed the 5.0 liter in that listing, that should of been my first clue. |
