Where the best place to get a set of over sized pistons for my 850 t5 is it a case of dealer only or are there other places.
Cheers

The only pistons you can get from Volvo/ FRF volvo are 0.40mm oversize.

These prices are from FRF volvo, main dealers are more.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Sten Parner did the forged rods and pistons for around £834

Though I maybe wrong, his website has changed, but I'm sure it said rods and pistons for 8750 SEK

You would have to contact them to see what the deal is.

Depending how much wear you have on the bores will tell you if you can use oversize oem Volvo pistons mate
