 Hi 
 My name is Guy Fawcett and I am in the process of rebuilding the 1147cc
engine in my 63 Spit FC 6351L

 I have two questions:

1) The motor currently has .040 oversize pistons installed and although they
are a little loose they will probably last another 5 years.  What do I do
then, the catalogues I have indicate that these are the largest oversize
units available?

2) What is the thickness of a new clutch, the one I have appears to be in
good shape but I was wondering how good it is?

Tally Ho

Guy
