Following on from my last post about the condition of the bores i have noticed that the pistons are stamped +.03" 71.35 i was told when i bought the car that the engine is a 1293.. would the markings represent this? as i would have expected +20 thou or something similar.

i am no expert by any stretch of the imagination but i am led to believe that 1293 would be + 0.020 at 71.13 as you say. so having 0.03 71.35 perhaps it has had a hone before?

0.30 pistons. You've got a 1302 there On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Cheers - think thats the best idea, just more expensive. But the block needs a hone (at least) so im stepping up to 0.40 |

Excellent idea! Have it properly machine honed to 0.40. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
