Are pistons marked with their size like bearings are? If so where do I look? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Oh, almost forgot. A couple of new pics up. See below.
 
Nice car. Isn't it weird how when they're disassembled they take 2 garage spaces /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

As for the pistons... If their oversized, it usually has the overbore stamped right onto the crown of the piston - if I remember right. I've seen pictures recently of stock pistons that have numbers on them too, for the factory workers to match slight differences in bore of the engines as they were assmbling them.
 
Okies, gona look. Looks like I will have to sleave a cylinder, bit of water in there at one time as valve cover was off, we will see what the machine shop says.

I have a new crank both mains and journals std would kinda like the cylinders to be the same.

Crank shaft and lifters are like new.

New duel chain timeing stuff and new oil pump. Got lucky or someone knew I was going to need it badly.
 
Pistons say ID.13, Made in England, on the top, what does this mean?
Ahhh, found it .30 over pistons.
