After all the earlier posts about new pistons, I have just managed to find a set of Karl Schmidt at +0.040" for my 'S'. They are in Germany, but CTM Performance in Dagenham located them and are getting them sent over. The only down-side is that they are £80 each + vat. However, the old ones I had have done 28 rallies and are barely marked. It's the bore wear which is the problem.
CTM seem really good and they have some excellent machining facilities, including crank balancing and crank stroking/indexing (0208 592 1180 - ask for Charlie)
So, the new engine will be 1312 cc with 11.2:1 C.R.
Should be OK at that, I think.
