what is the diameter measurement? I have a set of new (never used) been sat on the shelf for approx 10 years.

If you don't mind getting a rebore I have a set of brand new +90 AE Pistons and rings. This takes the engine out to almost 1700cc. They are 1300 pistons as well which is exactly what you need for a decent 1600/1700 xflow (raises compression ratio).

I bought them then discovered my block had been linered so are no good for me.

Burtons want £40 each for the pistons and £50 for a set of rings, but I am open to offers.

Thanks for replies:

MikeRJ -Thanks that's a decent offer but it is not a 711m block so I'm not risking the +90 route and as existing bores are fine it probably wouldn't be worth it!!
I do know a man who might snap your hand off though!

phad88, the guy I got engine from was running +0.040" pistons which he has retained I haven't got any precise measuring gear here at mo but by the book the std bore is 80.94- 80.957mm

and +0.040" (1.02mm) takes bore to min 81.9, measured with some rough calipers I'm getting around 81.8mm and 3.22" which is in the same ball park, if what you have is anywhere near that I can measure exactly on Monday.

Yep i got the pistons your after! They are new, well never used! been on the shelf in a box can send picture if req'd. They come complete with piston rings. I suspect postage would be around £10 or you could collect from stockport. Open to offers!
