I have decide to retire .04 oversized 83mm pistons and sleeves and get a set of 87mm. I see the going rate is a little under $500. Is there a difference between the sets available through Moss, Victoria British, British Part NW, etc? Or all they all reselling the same product?

Thanks for all of you help.

Years ago when I got a set from Victoria British they were Mahle brand, as they make high end stuff for Porsche etc. I assume these were pretty good, but could't guarantee that is what they always or still stock.

If you call the suppliers they should be able to tell you what brand you will get, if you are still not sure after that post your findings here and we will try to help.

A set of Mahle pistons and sleeves will set you back close to a grand.
