Let’s try this again:

#1&4 have “AB 8(could be a B) 413”
#2&3 have “PD 140  RENZ”

Looking for a vibration, maybe I found it?

Seems like they would be your best chance at balance right out of the box.

Having the same pistons in the same engine at the same time is surely the p=
referred method by anyone who might know the difference and or gives a damn=
.  However, I'm sure it's possible to keep a TR engine running with differe=
nt combinations of just about any part that would fit.  Even different size=
 pistons, of course with their matching liners, would still make an engine =
run and propel the car down the road.  For how long and at what speeds or l=
evel of performance is another story.=20
The end result is up to you and depend on your requirements.=20

My first engine rebuild, I was trying to get my car ready to go to the
vintage races at Elkhart Lake in 1988 or so.  I had ordered a set of 87mm
pistons and liners from Victoria British, for whatever reason they sent me
3 instead of four.  They were Mahle pistons, so that was kind of cool.

Anyway, I was running out of time and I had never been to vintage races (a
much more rare event back then).  So young and can't wait mentality I took
an old piston and liner to my local machine shop to see if I could get away
with a hone and rings.  I explained what I wanted to do and he said
something about out of balance and made a blown up sort of gesture and
sound.  Point taken, didn't do it.

I ended up getting the extra piston and liner in time to get the engine
back together for the races, but another problem kept me from getting there
until the next year.

In a way, this is a "how big is an orange?" question.  So, the correct 
answer is probably, "smaller than a grapefruit and bigger than a 
grape."  The dimensions and weights will change from engine to engine, 
and in the case of aftermarket parts, from manufacturer to 
manufacturer.  The other issue is the /relative/ ratio between the two 
parts.  In general, I'd say that pistons are lighter than rods, simply 
because of the materials from which they're constructed, but, beyond 
that, the devil's in the details.  Forged pistons are generally heavier 
than cast ones, because forgings are slightly denser and intended for 
more severe duty.  Full skirts are heavier than split skirts. Rods have 
a fairly large range of weights, because the construction varies so 
much.  H-section, I-section, etc., change the weights a good deal.

If I were to say, "rods are one-third heavier than pistons," or, "rods 
are one-third longer than pistons," that might be true in some very 
general way, but, it's not very helpful. :)

Cheers.

Oh, dear.  Oops, sorry, Jeff.  Thought you were asking a general 
question.  Didn't pay sufficient attention.  You were asking Bill about 
the specifics of his engine.

I'll go back to sitting in the corner with my dunce cap on.

Cheers.

LOL.  I read your answer, and didn't even realize you were answering my
question.  It was a good answer for what it was, but I couldn't figure out
why someone had asked such a weird question...

Cheers,
Jeff
