i've googled piston rings for tipo and cant find any, anyone know where i can get some?
just got a quote for flywheel lightening and balancing around £50 is that about right or a bit to much?
 
Well google desira Diss, and ask to speak to Andy foresdyke.

£50 quid lightenend and balanced sounds too cheap.

there was a thread before that someone was on about the differents in the mk1 and mk2 bhp and someone said it was something to do with the pistons, well ive found some mk2 pistons on ebay and they are different as they have a big dip in the middle.

you're getting confused between capacity(swept volume + CC volume + HG space) and the compression ratio. The volumes are the same on both cars, but the compression i.e. the volume available at TDC is less due to the dish in the 3 door piston, thus is doesnt squash the mixture as tight into the same space. The volume of the cylinders is usually only refered to as the swept volume. The cars do have different comp ratios but be sure that the dish is very small in real terms. Without really taking good measures you might find the dished piston actually has a thicker crown hieght around the squish band which could equaly out the comp, but I pretty sure the series 2 actually had lower comp. I used 5 door pistons on my first engine for that reason.
