You will need to hack about 9mm off the top of the block even with a stroked crank. Custom is the way to go, then you will get the exact piston for the job :) Remember, the A series piston has a very tall crown hight compared to most other engines.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Thanks colin, Id say mike could sort me with a head gasket, do you say that JE pistons made yours in another post or am I imagining that ? On 17th Feb, 2009 Rob H said:

I think you may be getting confused with the first lot of JE pistons that were available for the A series which also required about 9mm chunk taken off the top of the block. The pistons I have are original factory Triumph 2.5 pistons and far from performance items On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
