Well im thinking of boring a 1300 out to take 12ST pistons to make a nice high compression 1396cc, then if necessary machine the pistons so that the CR is somewhere in the region of 10.5 - 11:1. Don't want to take it too high as i want the engine to be a nice compromise between performance and reliability/durability.Quote:
