New Barrels & Pistons...



We are going to increase the motor to 1385cc by fitting some Mahle 83mm Barrels and Pistons - as they say 'there's no replacement for displacement' (who are 'they' anyways?). Contrary to a lot of write-ups these babies do not 'slot right in' but rather need quite a lot of machining around the skirt to make them fit. Basically they need to be reprofiled to match the 1200 pistons so that they clear the crank. Thanks to Rob for info on the machining.
