Hey guys,

Can anyone identify what brand this piston is. It has a small crack in the rim. I removed the head to discover it was cracked, and found a small crack forming in this piston rim. I'd like to replace it with an alike piston. I was not part of the last rebuild and have not found one with wrighting on it like this one.
I was hopping that one of you gear heads could shed some light on it for me so i can go forward. Follow the photobucket link to see it.

It has these casting marks:

FRT
->
50

I thought it was a .50 over but when I looked at pistons from several places all I find is, STD, .20, .30,.40 and .60.

any help would be appreciated.

Dose the piston brand matter????

I dont *think* the brand of piston matters, as long as its the same size/shape/etc. but i could be wrong

They're marked in metric. .50mm= 0.020" over
