**** NOTES from Jay Laifman (JLAIFMAN (at) PNM) at 3/11/97 9:32a
They were custom made from Jahn's or Aria's (I don't remember which, and
I might have the spelling wrong.
As to the rods, the piston wrist pins (correct term?) were made smaller
and the mechanic put a sleeve in there to make up the difference. He
swore that I would not have a reliability problem with that. I guess
I'll just have to wait and see.
I hear that there is a Volvo stock piston that results in 55 over. Maybe
someone knows which one.
