Hi,
has anyone ever heard of Gordini pistons?
Are they the same as the GPM crap?
A friend bought some Laverda parts,
among those Gordini pistons for 750s.

If you google around here: https://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q=gordini+pistons+&meta=
you'll find 80mm pistons for Gordini and Alpine

I once used a set of pistons (80mm) for a very early Mercedes, they even had the monster 5mm wide oil control ring, nice and cheap with a very similar combustion chamber shape and comp ratio.I still today am using up a few sets of 80mm (plus uversize) ring sets for 750/1200 and these are made by Mahle (Germany) and come in sets of four for use in Fiat cars, 128's and other I think
 
Hi, Clem.
Thanks for the infos.
But my intention is to get infos about the quality of those pistons
named Gordini, Gordini isn't the car they were meant for.
I just need to know if I can advise my friend to use them or not.

Hi Clem,

Do you have the Mercedes part number for those pistons ?

I had previously tried to research these but couldn't find the wrist pin diameter and deck height.

I would like a cheap alternative for going back to standard bores in the future on my 750 GT.

Cheers,

Rob
 
Ernesto, it's obvious no one here has heard of what you want so we thought the decent thing was to do what we do best.
Why should this thread be any different?  :-* :P :D
 
Hi Grant,
I just know a little about what Etrnesto speaks, I have Alpine models for over 35 years ... and Am?d? Gordini was my godfather promotion in 1978!

To find the pistons 80mm, you should see the Alpine Motors "racing" 1440 cc or 1550 cc.

A110 or A310 models (1605cc or 1300cc type) have smaller bores (78 or 74.5)

What models of Mercedes, which have 80mm pistons?

Mercedes Benz M180 engine, the oil control rings are suitable for use in SF/early 1200 the pistons are very not being a four ring diesel design.

The pistons that I used (successfully) were from a 1950's Mercedes car, I cannot recall which one,they cost about a tenner each and were the last two available from South London Pistons, obsolete before I started.
