depends on the shape of the crown,
i'm emailing asking for pictures/drawings theres also a toyota engine that uses nearly the same pistons, cause if i'm right in thinking they'll raise the comp ratio abit as well

also accralite make some rover pistons that are .25mm smaller on the compression height compared to our's so with a skim of the head they'd be perfect
but all research at the min

port and polished, skimmed, and abit of work in combustion chamber
now all iv got to do it lap the valves in, fit new steam seals and then fit the springs and collets etc etc
then can bolt to block, fit cams, cambelt, metal rollers, vernier pulleys, time engine up fit rocker cover, fit exhasut manifold, work out how big flexi pipe to fit, then fir complete exhasut system
oh and did i mention, get the right size throttle bodies as the ones i have dont fit the manifold great.
