Piston dome height

No ,still debating whether to or not

1mm should do it ,but I can't afford to eff it up, there's always a possibility of the cutter pulling in or something and that'd be it :lol:

The weights need to be dead right as well or it would need balancing and that's not in the budget .
Anyone got a set of old Turbo pistons lying about :?:

Also number 6 liner is slightly scored ,nothing major I think ,but would it be worth swapping it out for another used one ? or more hassle ? Anyone got a decent liner ?

Top DG

I'll have to have a good look at the 25 baccara pistons .The liners are no good as the base location is bigger, had one out to check ,but the pistons might be worth looking at as same fitment small end .
Rings and bearings have arrived from Simon Auto so scary-time approaches for my bottom end :shock:

DG crank all ready to go in ,it cleaned up OK :shock:

You can't use the Baccarra pistons as the overall piston height is too low, will turn out about 5:1 compression :lol:
