    what can the pistons liners etc handle?

    well my build is coming back together and il be ready to put my engine back in soon,

    i have the following:
    piper 285 cam springs pulley
    group a carb
    L & B flywheel
    oversize downpipe and sideexit
    font mount intercooler
    and standard t2 at the min

    next things i was going to get were maybe a t25? and a stainless manifold.

    will the standard picstons be ok for this or will i need to forge? also what kinda bhp figures?

    Some people say any prolonged use over 1.5 bar and the ringlands will fail but some people have used them at a lot more, including me

    +1

    3 of my pistons are original from the build many miles ago, and 3 of the liners are too, std machined pistons, std liners, std exhaust manifold and 1.9bar
