Can anyone identify these pistons?

Can anyone identify what pistons these are from just looking at them? It is bored .02 if that helps at all. I pulled the head off the block today, and there are some numbers/markings on them I can give those too if needed.



Also these rods?

And the crank?

And what kind of valves? Looks stock but just trying to see what I have inside my car! haha

crank valves are stock , rods could be stock, pistons kinda look like wiseco's. heads also a 2g
 
The rods are original 6-bolt rods installed on an OEM 6-bolt crank; as well, the valves are also OEM.

No clue really on the piston, other than "63dT" being the original denotation of an OEM 6-bolt turbo piston and I'm not certain that notation is carried over to different manufacturers. I will agree they do somewhat resemble Wiseco's.
 
yeah I did some research on the 63d T and it is the OEM piston, and the "T" representing a turbo piston. However I know it was bored out .02

Does that meen it needs bigger pistons or can it run on the stock pistons with larger piston rings? .02 is the slightest measurement. So I am curious to know if it has to have a bigger piston
 
Mitsu lists oversized pistons for as little as 0.010" (0.25mm) over; piston to cylinder wall clearance has to stay within spec of 0.0012-0.0020" (0.03-0.05mm). Say the cylinder was originally 85mm with an original piston clearance of 0.04mm and was bored out that quarter of a millimeter. That means the clearance is now 0.29mm, way out of spec. For 0.020" (0.50mm) over, you would obviously be worse with a clearance of 0.54mm on original pistons.

So yes, it would normally need to have bigger pistons to make up the difference in clearance. Some situations may require more clearance, but the above piston to wall specifications are for OEM equipment.

So I should probably just measure the cylinder and find out for myself?
 
stock intake valves for sure.. I cant see the exhaust valves face to see if any numbers....

I pet the pistos are NPR over size stock replacemet cast pistons, from the numbers you say are on them... aftermarket forged pistons would not have the stock mitsu part number.. just the makers part number.
rods and crank look stock too
