GLM pistons

[26V]

Does anyone have the GLM part numbers for the aftermarket replacement pistions for the OMC A motor? I think they make 2 different ones, one that has a coating on the piston that is not legal and one without the coating.

2.1875" + .030" piston = 24430 (omc p/n = 5006662)

2.1875" + .030" rings = 23730 (omc p/n 386280)

Give Gary a call.............he has them and has had issue with the 'coating'. I believe the tech Committee may approve that updated re-placement piston in Chicago!

TJ is also aware of the issue..............

GLM Pistons

I kow this a little bit off subject. Does GLM make oversize pistons for the 44 merc? If so where do you order them from? Anybody had any experience with them? Any info appreciated Thanks Art K

GLM makes .030 over pistons for the 4 cylinder Merc 44 cu in that fit 1970 to 2002 that are the 2 ring configuration. I am a GLM dealer. I offer GLM parts to racers for 40% off list + UPS. I can arrange drop shipments directly to you from GLM to reduce costs.

Why don't we just approve everything and anything--for ever and ever. Then everyone can just race what they want and the world will live in peace.

Isn't anyone concerned about the possibility that--with the plethora of replacement parts that have, and could be, approved for the various motors in our category--maybe there could be performance disparities between the parts? Is this Stock racing at all anymore?

[BP125V]

you are right Ryan

except what do we do given that fact that OMC pistons are no longer available? The SORC approved the GLM, what else could they do?

Does anyone have contact information for Gary US Pond?
