Please,,,I dont want to rush my decision. but someone's gotta help me!!

 

They still look good...you can clean the piston tops with wd-40 and a rag.

 

I'd clean them off before you buy them.

See if you can find any major scratches, marks, etc. Especially on the side...

I'd say if the price is right, do it.

 

i agree..

 

Thats the thing, i cant see them in person first, the guy is on the other side of the country!!
I'm now finding out that they are 75mm, and i probably need a bigger bore depending on what condition my cylinders are in (no clue until i rip it apart )
man...

 

if that is the case i would ask for more pictures specifically close ups of the sides and the rings to look for scarring.

 

I would not buy used parts like that if I could not inspect them. Just be patient and buy exactly what you need once you disassemble your engine.

 

I would never buy used pistons and/or rods.

 

stick the pistons in your dishwasher...old drag racer steez
