Help needed please!!
I am not able to find 83.5 40thou oversized pistons on 2l 8v 2E golf motor i have tried numerous spares shops without any luck . All of them told me it has been discontinued . Apparently you get 2 different lenghts in the pistons . One being 52mm and the other 62/3 mm i need the 52 mm piston.
Is there a different piston that i can use that will be a straight fit ?
Or do i resleeve ?

Al the places i have tried does not have the correct length piston . Including midas,alert ,goldwagen ,autozone, masterparts they can get me the longer piston but not the shorter one i need.
