Does anyone have any experience with after-market pistons for the Rotax 532? It's time to change pistons after 380 hours; the cylinders are ok, but the pistons are 0.004 under spec. Rotax factory pistons for the 532 are no longer available, and none of the dealers have any stock. So I was wondering if anyone has used overhaul piston sets from non-Rotax sources. I would appreciate hearing about anyone's experience with them.

Hi Mike, aftermarket piston (parts) have been used for years with as good a results as OEM.
