The used enegine I put in a couple years ago is leaking exhaust gases into the cooling system! Plus it uses oil at the rate of about 1 qt per 300 miles.

Based on previous experience I don't want to do a minimal job in replacing the head gasket and rebuilding the head on this engine to still end up with an oil burner.

I want to rebuild the engine and I have been able to find most parts except for a source of oversize pistons so I can bore out the block for a good fit.

Anyone know of a source for pistons? I believe Mahle were the OEM but I can't find anyone who know about Vlvo piston availability..............
