Volvo doesn't even carry the piston kits for the standard bore anymore. They are NLA.
If you bore it .030 over, you can get a piston kit from Volvo for just under $280.
Just one of the hazards of trying to run really old marine engines.

I didn't say it was totally impossible, I said Volvo didn't sell them anymore.
There is probably someplace in this world that has them. I just don't happen to know that place.
Might give google a try and look for some Volvo dealers that have old parts.

Re: were to get piston for volvo aq130c

you should be able to order them through a diesel machanic you will need a new liner because they are sold with new pistons the pistons and liners are made in sets that will only work like that if you go changing a piston and not liner the fit wont be right and you will not have enough compression or **** the liner and piston

It's a gas engine, and it doesn't have liners.
