2.0 Zetec E Blacktop replacement Pistons ?

[Zakspak]

Hi all.
I’m looking for a set of oversized pistons for a 2.0 Zetec Blacktop. They used to be available as a replacement piston at 85.3mm (0.5mm oversize on the standard 84.7mm).
The oversized piston rings are still available from various places but I’m struggling to find the pistons. I don’t want to go above 85.3 as the cost of the pistons is not viable with my planned engine spec.
Anyone who knows a supplier or has a decent set of oversized pistons they can let go, please let me know.
cheers
Peter

I see 85.3 mm ZetecE pistons on the burtonpower website, have you looked there?

Is that the Nural piston ? They are listed for the Mondeo Silver Top. My engine is a later Black Top from a Focus. I don’t know if they are interchangeable. I spoke to Burtons before posting here and the guy said they didn’t have a 85.3 for a Black Top.

Have you tried Dunnel Engines if they are still in business, they were renowned Zetec specialists.

Thanks for that, I’ll give Dunnell a call ��

Haadee. Thanks for your reply.
I’ve just come to update that I found them at Autospeed.co.uk
£75 each including new gudgeon and piston rings. They are made by Hepolite. They are a direct replacement made for a racing series that has rules restricting the use of certain competition parts such as racing pistons.
So 4 ordered, and the engine build can move on

Re the oversized pistons advertised by Burtons. They are listed for Silver Top Zetecs. I did a bit of checking and the Black top and Silver Top pistons are different and not compatible
It’s odd they supply the older engine pistons but not the newer, that will probably change in time.

its likely they bought a batch of silver top pistons a long while ago. but zetecs dont tend to wear bores which will be why they do not stock black tops
