Hi can any one give me the info on pocketing z18xe pistons to take bigger cams.

i think you may have to take some valves out of the head & put some dowel thru the guides to measure them. have you done a dummy build & put some little coils of solder or play-doh on the piston crowns to check for clearances?

speak or see threads of lee303 or warren.g on migweb

no pal havent done that yet it a last effort that i hoped some one had the measurements

it will all depend on the camshafts... maybe the cam manufacturer will have some advice.

Yeah, originally this is true - but its been rebuilt correctly now; with the pistons cut/pocketed and mapped successfully to over 190bhp and good amounts of torque.. The lee303 lad had rebuilt that engine for him.
