Hello!

What is a 'short' piston?

I think I missed a bargain here http://cgi.befr.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=230312950635

For 200 euros... 6 pistons with rings and all...

IIRC a short piston is one you fit if you change the length of the con-rods. But I doubt this is what is meant by the red writing on the box. Then again, it says 'SEGM' too?? If it hadnt already gone I'd be having a word with the Kolbenschmidt;)

SEGM = SEGMENTS = Piston Rings. it was cheap.
