Now I know why my rover ran so good. My block, which was bought from
Rovers North in 1989, I would assume as reconditioned, has .060 over
pistons!!! Assholes!! How is somebody supposed to rebuild such an
engine.
I don't imagine they can be bored to .080. At least it doesn't have much
of a ridge, but I currently can't find .060 over rings. Guess it's time
to think about what conversion I want to do next time. I'm afraid to
check the bearings and see what size they are.
