My track car melted a piston and when engine was opened up looked like standard wrx pistons . Davy Murray gave me a piston to fit and it was smaller than the one took out . So my car has had a rebuild before and has had 93mm pistons fitted , strange thing is it's had Subaru oversize Pistons fitted . Anyone here have any 93mm lying around ?

Got a new .50 piston from mc kinstrys , they built the engine in it ages ago . Only found out on Tuesday that Subaru only done .25 and .50 oversize . Strange thing is the old piston is measuring 93 on digital vernier . Again I might not have measured correct but there is a .50 going back in and that should sort it all being well .

Make sure you inspect all the pistons thoroughly, if one is damaged good chance others are too.

Not sure if you've posted photos of different pistons there, but certainly the piston in the side view is banjaxed although sometimes cracks arent as clearly visible.
