Can anyone tell me/tell me where to find the bore and stroke of F3R pistons?
Also, where can find information about the angle of the cuts on the piston crown (the bits to ensure valve clearance if you get me) of megane 2ltr 16v (F7) engine?
Thanks in advance! |

Yeah i was gonna modify the 8v ones to fit but from what Neal says that won't work - another money making idea out the window then!  The only other option i've been told is that willy pistons would fit the F3 block but by the time i'd have done that i'd probably be cheaper just buying a proper 16v block...ah well...
thanks anyway folks. |
