pinto piston ID
Hi folks,
Just taken the head off the pinto and the piston has markings of sp 0.04mm.
Apparently the engine has had a full refurb and I was wondering if these are standard or slightly oversized or
do the markings not mean anything like that.
Cheers
Andi

Sounds like it's had a rebore at +0.04mm above standard bore.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Either that's not bore size markings or youve read then wrong. O/S pistons are in 0.5mm and 1mm which is 20 thou and 40 thou in old money -
never heard of a 1.5 thou overbore, thats smaller than the piston to bore clearance.
Pinto pistons usually state size such as 91.300mm or 91.800mm etc

I think it's the deck height
I.e 0.4mm below the top of the block
My pistons are 0.382 below
