Hi all, 

I have been given a 186 engine and have pulled it down. 

5 pistons have a part number 7429479, this number is on the inside of the piston. 

1 piston has RAZ202Z 040 10P 01 QE, these numbers are on top of the piston. 

Are the 5 pistons equivalent to a 202 piston 4 thou over. 

Is anyone able to help?

Thanx, 

Bill.

Should be .040" over for all pistons, unless someone has done a dodgy job. Clean the tops of the other pistons to see.

It looks to me like someone has replaced a busted 186 piston with a 40 thou over 186 piston as a cheap job.

 

202 and 186 use an identical bore but 202 has a longer stroke with the same rod length hence the pistons are not interchangeable. Every other Holden red-blue-black 6 from 130ci to 186ci shared the same stroke and used a bigger bore but 202 is the only one where the stroke was increased. So for example a 179 is a 173 +0.0625" (or 1/16") bore, a 186 is a 179 +0.0625" bore.
