Frequently asked questions

What is the 537271 piston used for?
The 537271 is an oversize piston for the 2.6L 6-cylinder petrol engine fitted to Land Rover Series 2 and 3. It runs in the cylinder bore and transfers combustion pressure through the gudgeon pin and connecting rod to the crankshaft.
What does 0.040in oversize mean and when do I need it?
0.040in oversize means the piston is machined 0.040in larger than standard, to suit a cylinder block rebored 0.040in during a rebuild. Only fit it if your block has been bored to match. A standard-size block needs a standard piston.
Does this piston come with rings?
This is the piston only. It's normally fitted with matching 0.040in oversize rings, bought separately. Rings that match the rebore size are essential for a correct seal in the bore, so check whether your rebuild kit already includes them.
How many of these pistons does a rebuild need?
A full rebuild of the 2.6L 6-cylinder engine needs six pistons, one per cylinder. They're typically fitted as a matched set at the same oversize so all bores share the same clearance. A single piston only suits replacing one damaged item in an already-matched set.
