Hi, using oversize pistons but need 2x cylinders as only have 2 good ones.
Original engine threw a rod, put a hole in the case, broke the camshaft in
half and two barrels ended up cracked.
Surprisingly the crank came out ok, not cracked, is still straight and
cleans up first undersize.
Pistons I will be using are German Mahle 40 thou oversize, cost around US
$300.00, which is a excellent deal!
These are coming form Australia and are DJ engine spec (higher compression)
pistons.
Regards
John
