So, while waiting for my Boport head (for what seems like an eternity), I have been amusing myself by building one of my small journal motors. I have a bunch of NOS blocks and cranks from the Gyrhead days and finally decided to put one together. I have been accumulating parts for the last few month and am pretty much ready to go. I found a set of N/A rods (with pistons), tossed the pistons and measured the journal openings for size. I also got the rods magnafluxed and ready to go. I had the 3/4" hole for the oil return machined, set the crank, measured oil clearances and blueprinted all dimensions. Now the kicker. I CANNOT find a set of standard bore forged pistons to save my life. All the ones out there are oversized. What is a lad to do? Any thoughts? As a last resort, anyone have a set of stock workable SVO pistons and pins they want to sell?
I would rather not bore a brand new block .020 or.030 and incur that expense.
