NASH had horrendous problems with them in his, with wear I think it was, but not sure by any means the exact probs, best pm him.

if i rember correctly , nash' spistons were cossie application , and his problems were with piston to bore clearance causing piston slap ,

the maufacturer recommended a set clearance , wich nash specced to ,


he even said himself if he had supplied them to the engineer and said match these clearence wise , it wouldnt have been a problem ,


just double check clearences when boring block to suit ,


few folks i know have them in big power rst's with no issues ,

Didnt Nash's pistons sort of shrink once through a few heat cycles which caused his problems?

I run woessner pistons on my cossie for about 20000km now without any problem, it's used on track and as a "every" day car

My mate uses them in his Clio Turbo for 50000km now also with no problem, they need bigger clearance then normal pistons i believe

i had them in my old 16i turbo that ran 35 psi. No problems at all. Removed after 5k. Still mint

we had them in our old cossie, but when the block was machined, i personally dont think the machine shop did the piston-bore clearance big enough, as it nipped up and melted when was being set up not long after rebuild

I specifically remember the man telling me that he had made the clearances tighter to reduce piston slap

mine have made it through a few hard runs on the dyno last week without drama so ok so far!

The problems i had had are massive piston slap after 1500miles of use[was really quiet when first built], still there now as i cant be arsed to change them. Car doesnt use oil, doesnt smoke, has good oil pressure, and makes good power. Sounds like a tank on start up but cannot justify the cost of a rebuild when theres nothing else wrong.

The reason i had my machined the way i did was because wossner said i must do it this way. They said they need extra clearence and if i didnt do it to there measurements i ran the risk of it seizing up.

I will go Mahles next time.
