I blew my KT17 Series I last year and was going to part out my 682, rather than rebuild, but I'm now thinking about going ahead and rebuilding the motor. However, when I started looking at the prices for a single piston/ring set, I was completely blown away.

Has anybody found any crossover pistons from, say, a Briggs or other engine that will work as a replacement? I am going to need a rod and a pair of .030 pistons. Can't figure why a B&S piston for a similar engine is $30 and the KT17 pistons are over $200 for OEM.

If anybody has an old std rod laying around, PN 52 059 01, PM me. I'll buy it from you.
