Re: 1mm oversize pistons
i've got JE 1mm oversize pistons in my main engine, i think they will re bore your barrells too. the engine mine are in were revved to 16,100 but then taken down to 15,500, but i think it's revving to 15,000 now.
but JE pistons would be the way to go

Stick with std pistons.easier to get replacement and a lot less costly.1mm dont give that much increase and you cant rev them as hard.Just get a decent tuner [RMKD]

Re: 1mm oversize pistons
Toecutter on this board had 1mm over omega pistons, they're very very nice. I haven't been able to get in touch with him but I'm in the US. You might contact Omega, since he had them custom made there. No replacement for displacement. I was hoping to get 2mm over from Rob but wasn't able to work it out. I may try contacting Omega myself about a set.
