1.Is it possible to get oversize pistons for the 4.5 ajp.
2.What other piston options are there for this engine other than standard TVR ones.

I think the 4.7 conversion is just an overbore. Have a chat with Dom at Power about the bits.

Yes, the 4.7 kit uses overbore CP pistons but it ain't cheap. Plus you'll need block machining, new liners, head gaskets etc. The pistons look luuuurvely though. Should hopefully have mine running in a month or two so I can tell you then what the benefit is in real terms!

Clearly you'll need a rebore, can't see why you'd need to change the sleeves though - surely a straight rebore of the sleeves in place would do the trick

TBH though, it's never going to be worth doing this unless you're doing a full rebuild anyway - but has to be a consideration if you are.
