My best guess is we have VAT at 20% (value added tax) would take it up to a similar price

In fact if the pistons where cracked are you sure the bores are ok?

I think the bores are fine, the crosshatch honing marks are still visible over the entire piston stroke area. |

15 psi on 8.8 is possibly pushing it a bit, i would look to get it down a bit to about 8.5, then you have room for turning up the wick in the future,

You'll probably find on an unskimmed block that the cast Omegas usually sit around 0.040" down the bore. So though they only have a 10cc dish, there's extra volume in the deck height.

I'd rather run a bit more cr and better fuel & a big intercooler .The CR is a function of cam duration, intake temps,fuel octane levels,boost levels & propensity of the chamber to make trouble. People run Honda's with 11.5 CR and oodles of boost without problems, so it's not always clear cut. That sir, is not rust, it is the progressive mass reduction system
