My man wants to replace the pistons because they are not suitable for use with modern petrol.

My anxiety is that the distortion is due to lack of support in the block, or are the liners rigid enough not to need it? My only experience is of wet liners that are much thicker.

Has anyone heard of JP pistons and are they a reputable brand?

Also, is it worth shelling out £200 extra to have 9.5 : 1 pistons in preference to 8.5?
