I'm just starting to tear down a spare 7afe for my celica. I don't know if I will need pistons or other machine work yet as the engine has >250K on it. I read Smaay's excellent rebuild thread but I still have a question. With aftermarket pistons I see either STD or oversize. I don't see them broken down into 3 std sizes like oe pistons. Why is that? Is it a "close enough" kind of thing? If I need a piston I'll most likely get an oe toyota one but I was curious on this.

i think you are reading into things. you need to measure the bore first, then get the right sized piston.
the engine is here in CA, I want 800 for it since its a full rebuild with OS pistons and about 5000 miles on it. The shipping to TN will be the killer. Since i dont want to do it, it will cost $$$$$$$$$$ This post has been edited by Smaay: Nov 19, 2013 - 9:20 AM -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
