The story of the second cam......

I was putting it in the bin (coz its stuffed) and my son saw me and gave me the "whats that?"...."what does it do?".....

So I told him and he said "can I have it?"......so I said yea.

So he put it in the tray on the back of his push car, and said "this is my zorst pipe....smelly smoke comes out of there"

I kid you not!

Anyway...I digress......my '998' (so it says onthe block - ) will be rather tasty I think Can't wait to hear it! should rumble a little louder than Pops....

How Cute... What am I saying
I dear I'm under the spell already
I'm atlking about the 998/1098 arn't I

he's already got a big enough head as it is... don't make it bigger

Hehehe..

Reading about the pistons and what not, i decided to give it a look as i had to take the head off anyway to put the little tube between it and the water pump *smacks head*
and i came across some wierd numbers and a made in germany stamp, are these still normal size pistons? and are they meant to go really deep? on a 1275.

Picture ~down there~

Let me know if ya cant read the numbers.

30 thou oversize I'd say.

The 0.030" means their 30 thou oversize. I guess the 71.31 may be a mm size for the actual diameter of the piston. Sizes are typically plus 20 thou, 40 thou, 60 thou for a mini so it is an odd size. The rest has me stumped except for the fact Made in Germany probably means that's where they were made

thanks guys, does that mean shes had a re-bore? cos the cylinders are pretty schmick also
(that pic took me 3 or 4 tries to get haha.... gotta get the right zoom, and the right distance away with a flash. )

1310/71,
You used to be able to get .010", .020", .030" .040" O/S pistons stock from BMC once.
But aftermarket suppliers have distilled this to .020", .040" & .060"

.030" used to be a common size once, in `66 I had a 997 block with .030" over Repco pistons and a 1098 crank in it.
Pistons stuck up 1mm or so, we decked them with a file...
Hey we were learning as we went!

.030 I thought it looked like.03g
