This again means that assuming you've got a thin nat's fanny, which is very similar to a midgies di*k, this means that the F'ck all is approx 8,61 flashes.

So, if youre machinist is going to remove a fuck all from the block or head. Beware. I'd say that this is near impossible with regular mills.


whatb obout using a 300year old corn grinding mill, seing as these are now very rare they should be better than your regular mill sulely.

So, anyone measured a nat's fanny since last being discussed?

Carl: I would guess you're right. I'd better book my trip tp Holland soon.

I'll get my machinist to have a go.

He'll do almost anything!

Perhaps not reccomended, but I just chopped 6mm off the top of my old Pistons to reduce the CR. Took it down to around 7.5:1

It leaves an almost flat top piston, with a small 2 p sized dish left, so crown thickness isnt reduced.

I was able to get them done with rods in situ by a friend at a local machine shop.

Squish...well, back then I didnt know much about that !!

I wouldnt do the same if I was doing it again though. But it worked.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Having mine done at morspeed at the minute should be about £30.

Has anyone got any photos/spec of hacked up 73.5mm pistons, I'm going to have a go at doing my own dishing but don't have one to hack up. Think they're 11cc omegas, but not sure. I'm also going to chop the skirts down a tad as I'm going to be oil squirting them anyway. This was an old practice and works well, legend has it........

Bugger off, I'm getting there.

I got mine to 16cc with a load more that could come off. Could easily get them to 18cc
