    Subject: Rotax 532 replacement pistons
    From: "mikeperkins" <flybyewire@gmail.com>
    Does anyone have any experience with after-market pistons for the Rotax 532? It's time to change pistons after 380 hours; the cylinders are ok, but the pistons are 0.004 under spec. Rotax factory pistons for the 532 are no longer available, and none of the dealers have any stock. So I was wondering if anyone has used overhaul piston sets from non-Rotax sources. I would appreciate hearing about anyone's experience with them. -------- Mike Perkins EAA TC/FA Havana, Illinois Model I, 532, B gearbox, GSC prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=377495#377495
