I need a set of pistons for a 1957 75E Marathon Six, does anyone know where I can find parts for a motor this old?

Hi Max,<br /> Chances are you may have to make do with some of what you have. Finding 6 new pistons for a nearly 50 year old motor is going to be difficult and expensive. Are all six pistons toasted? How are the bores? You might be able to get by with only replacing a couple pistons and adding new rings. I beleive Hastings sells new rings by dimension. The same pistons in your motor were used in the Mark 25 (2-cylinder) and Mark 55 (four cylinder) of the same vintage...<br />- Scott

Hi Max,<br /> 2 7/16" is a standard bore for those motors. There are several pistons on eBay right now - saw them listed just as of this morning...<br />- Scott
