Perhaps somebody in the know could elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they an OEM piston ? If they have a floating 22mm pin they will suit our rods. Cheers Brad Goucher Just got that email from spool... I will keep investigating!

Sounds like head studs have stretched from what joe has said which is relatively concerning because I know what causes lifted heads..... Could still be head gasket as well Edited 27/04/16 11:08 AM by MattyP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
