i have some 0.5mm oversized pistons with deepened valve pockets you can have for nowt. just coverthe postage. reason they're free as such being that i dont know how good they are. bit of surface rust but they should clean up ok

my 1.6 on tb's with 288 cams was smooth on idle.

what pistons etc you got


its a x16xe needs a rebuild very badly :( got oil all over my boot lol

all the internals are standard only thing i have on it is the nova-tech tb's and omex

i dont want to spend the money on forged pistons as i havnt got the money for them i need it rebuilt and tested :)

looks like novatech throttle bodies? what engine management you got, sounds like it needs a bit of mapping, who mapped it?

from your garage id say its a standard bottom end? if so 264's are usually the wildest you can get without clipping your valves.

the 264's will be good for a few extra ponies and itll still be usable power!

u2u me for prices
