Note: the oversizes referred to here are the production
oversizes (look for a number in a diamond stamped into the top of the piston), not the overbore sizes used when boring an engine.
Overbore replacement pistons are normally stamped with a "0.5", "1.0" or "1.5" to indicate 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 mm oversize. |
