I have my 02 ALH original Bosch alternator I swapped out at 190k miles. Was working when I took it off.

Interested?

Wasn't in a very good mood on friday.....

Got started on taking apart the block



Got my box of goodies



And then I saw this :mad:




Looks like I got 2 ALH pistons and 2 ASV pistons... This certainly set me back, was hoping to have the block built and put in the car so i would just have to put the head back on when the engine shop was done with it.

How did they manage to give you ASV pistons? You guys didn't even get the ASV. I know they maybe fit and are an upgrade of sorts but I'm still suprised they sent them out to you.

that sucks on the mixup but the good news is that if you used the vendor i think you did, a quick phone-call and by today or tomorrow you should have the correct parts in your hand.

are you going to send the rotating assemble to be balanced once its all assembled?

Just got of the phone with Aaron (bleachedbora) @ boraparts. There in the middle of moving to a new warehouse, apologized for the mix up and is sending new pistons, should have them before Thursday.

Thanks Aaron!

We have had this same thing happen when ordering pistons from one of our suppliers. The boxes have been upgraded. The ASV piston you have is in the newer style box. But the pistons we have received numbered identically on the box, but could be either the ASV or the ALH. We could only tell by opening the box and examining the pistons.

That sucks! How to make life easier, not.

As for the ASV pistons I heard they've some extra oil channels or something to help with cooling. What sort of power was that thing pushing out when it was pushing? :D

Haven't check clearances in the block... It's low mileage just going on the assumption that it will be fine
This is a horrible idea. It will take maybe a day to measure the chritical stuff. Time well wasted if you ask me.

I suggest to check EVERYTHING in the shortblock. You will be using a mix of old and new parts, you should care what fits and how well.

Haven't been on here in a bit.... Engine is in and runs great. Mileage has shot up from around 800km per tank to a solid 1000km. A bit more pull in the top end and it screams!!! Going to have to put a muffler on it when I get a chance...
