My friend rebuilding my engine has just rung me, to get me to order some parts for him.
its a morris 1300gt engine, he says the current pistons are dished and have 17271 stamped on them and they are +30 pistons.
He says he is struggling to find a ringset for them. He isnt a Mini person so thats why he asked me to find out.
I know zero about engine building! Can anyone advise what i need to get and where from please?
Your help is much appreciated!
