georgia-boy Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Who sells Stens pistons? A lot of people recommend them, but I can’t find anyone that sells them. I am looking for a +.020 piston for a K431 Jacks Small Engines and Sandy Lake only have Kohler pistons for +.020 pistons. Am I looking for hen’s teeth? It’s a good thing Kohler does not make a V8. Thanks to the members who tried to help me with this piston deal Thanks Charles.
msiebern Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I bought mine from machine shops where I have my block work done. Stens sells though dealer networks I believe. I haven't been to their website lately, but they might have a dealer locator on there. Checking with your local machine shops is probably your best bet.
Nick Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Try Foley Belsaw, [url]http://www.foleybelsaw.com/freeWholesaleSmallEnginePartsCatalog.html[/url] most of their engine parts are Stens.
CarlH Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 My local CarQuest has Stens products for Briggs/Kohler engines. I haven't seen pistons but I would assume they could get about anything that Stens produces.
maxtorman1234 Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 These usually can be found on ebay in any size you need.
firefoxz1 Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 CarlH, Are you sure they are Stens? My local Carquest and Napa carry Primeline parts. Jack's small engine carries Stens and they are a sponser to this site.
georgia-boy Posted March 19, 2005 Author Posted March 19, 2005 Thanks for all the replies; our sponsors were the first people I call when I need parts. As I said in my first post they do not have after market over size pistons for a K341. My next option is a member that has his own business or works for a parts dealer. I would rather do business with a sponsor or member if I can. Thanks Charles
CarlH Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 firefoxz1 I'm pretty sure about the Stens stuff. My local CarQuest was with another regional auto parts chain so they may be carrying stuff besides what CarQuest offers.
firefoxz1 Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Sorry Charles, I quess I read about Jack's but by the time I read through other replies CRS must have hit me hard, LOL. Can't think of another at the moment.
