As some of you may have seen I lost my pistons a while back. Well today I went in the shed and found them. Don't no how I didn't see them the last 3 times of searching in there.

Cheers Brett but I think if I buy 1293 I will go smaller dish as i have been told with the 18cc the compression ratio will be to low as my head is 26cc. Please correct me if I'm wrong. |

If Brett would sell them at £300 I would have had them but I think he wants £450 which is out of my budget :( |

I no but I would need to either skim the head or block to bring the compression ratio up a bit which costs more money lol. The wife is starting to moan as the £3500 project I was doing is over £13000 now and still no full engine |

Nothing else as far as I no at the moment. Will it cost more to have a engine bored from 1275 - 1330 than it would cost to bore a 1293 - 1330? |

No I've never heard of anyone charging more just to a bore to a bigger size you should give your pistons to the machine shop so they can hone the bores to the correct clearance even in a batch of new pistons there can be a difference in size Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

Cheers I may get my spare block bored to these pistons and sell the freshly bored 1293 block which hopefully will cover most the cost. What sort of price do these places charge. Also can anyone recommend anywhere near high Wycombe that can do it |
