Carlos, I bought a set (for my 3000 engine) as you described from
British Parts Northwest in Salem, Oregon a few years back. Try them at
www.bpnorthwest.com. However, I opted to sleeve the engine back to std.
bore. I sent the 0.060 set back to them and they were happy to swap for
a std. bore set. Nice guys here.... I checked the cyl. Wall thickness
at 0.060 and it was a little too thin for my comfort zone as I was a bit
scared of overheating and of the cyls becoming barrel shape from being
so thin. Anyway, I am very happy with the sleeve job back to std. bore.
Lotsa Luck,
Jack

Hi Fellow Listers,
I'm in search of a set of 6 new pistons for the Big Healey. I'm looking
for +.060 oversize 5 ring pins and retainer locks. I assume there are
different manufacturers available? I appreciate any recommendations on
which ones to look for and which ones to avoid.
Likewise, if any of you happen to have a new set sitting around
collecting dust and wish to part with it, please let me know.
Cheers,
Carlos Cruz
