Re: SRI tubby pistons
rings are rings, the bores of the two engines are the same so the vauxhall rings will be fine, you would use the pug con rod so no problem with shells, mabye have to modify the little end of the conrod to accept the vauxhall wrist pin.lozz wrote:Poxhall pistons in a puggy![]()
