I was following up Paul's recommendation of Payen gaskets from the "How has the best engine gasket sets?" thread.
I didn't want to hijack that thread so I thought I would start a new topic. While I was at the BPNW site I saw that they have a 89mm Piston and Liner Kit for TR3's. Since my car is in the shop and needs an engine rebuild anyway. It's at Her Majesty's Auto Service, Erik is going to start pulling the engine next week.
I did the math, that increases the engine from 2,188 with the 87mm pistons to 2,290 with the 89mm pistons. But, the cost for that extra 102CC's is $845. I'm wondering if it's worth it to get the 89mm sleeves and piston's instead of the more conventional 87mm pistons? So, some advice,what do you folks think, is the extra 102CC's worth the added $325? Has anybody gotten these for there TR3?
