anybody have any 272 pistons they want to part with? just pulled apart what looks to be a freshly rebuilt 272 but it sat around too long and a couple pistons have some serious pits on the top. I have tons of 292 stuff but no spare 272.

Chuck, the Loring run is shortly before Columbus, would be a good time to head up.

Thanks Hoosier, after looking at these closer, I may just run them. If I can't I may be asking you for a couple.

On another note, I think I found why it was rebuilt and never run, the Oil rings appear to be too large and was binding the rings. on the first piston I cleaned and reinstalled the rings I could not get the rings to compress down flush with the piston so on the first one I took some tin snips and cut one hump off and they fit much better. I am wondering if the set they used was for a 292, maybe the set was mixed up when bought and the engine ended up too tight and thats why it never run. The other funky thing about this set is it has an expander ring in the second groove under that ring along with having a thin ring above the top ring. anybody know what type of set this is.

How far is Loring from you? I was thinking about it if I can convince the "boss" to let me go. I don't think any of our guys are planning to run there this year.  Chuck
