I've decided to go ahead with my 1959 Type I. First Q:

[captcrisis]

Thanks for those of you to responded to my earlier post. I've had a 1959 Type I in the garage for 13 years and was trying to decide whether to get it road-ready. The body's already been restored.

So I've decided to go for it!

First question:
I took apart the engine and checked the pistons, rods, crankshaft so far. Everything looks useable except piston #1 (.006" clearance between ring and its land).

1. Do I have to buy an entire set for four jugs? Or just one piston/cylinder?
2. Where is the best place to buy them? Mid-America Motorworks doesn't have them for 36 hp (they start only for 1966).

Thanks!

Go to the vintage speed section and look at the stickies at the top, it will tell you who else sells 36HP stuff
