Piston help
Got two knackered pistons with cracked skirts and need to replace them on a standard bore block
I've been offered Escort pistons. Are Escort RS turbo pistons the same as Fiesta Turbo?

The bore is perfectly fine. Had it checked as I was going to get it honed. The engineering firm have just said that I should deglaze the block. I bought the engine as a non runner for £40 so I'm not to bothered why. It is merely something to play with to stick im my XR2 for a bit a track fun.
The big end was knackered so whether that added to the issue I'm not sure.
