B200 piston and ring source in the US 200 1986

Hi,

If you cannot find a direct reference to the engines series class you will have to shop by measurements alone.
I have no idea where you have looked but Mahle is the largest most common maker worldwide for all kinds of engines and all kinds of components.
If they don’t make them they probably own a share of that person’s business that do. They are truly global!

Perfect Circle piston ring company use to be a top of a line ring company but I think they are not totally by themselves any longer. All kinds of mergers have happen.
If you Google them you will see their past history and see that Dana, another large automotive outfit, took them under their wings!

Another famous brand is Clevite that are into bearings inserts big time.
Like I said you will find these all interconnected in some way or another.

Pistons will follow through all of these brand names and several other companies on the fringes.

You just need to hook up into catalogs and have measurements of what you are using for connecting rods and so forth. A cylinder hole is just a hole to be filled.
The part from wrist pin upwards and the skirts have to clear in both directions.

I’m sure there nothing magical with stuffing that hole with todays listings!

Good luck with shopping sources for knowledge!

Phil
