Re: Domi 99 pistons

Sorry to bring up the piston topic again!

I have a pair of Hepolite 16606 +20 pistons in lovely condition I am thinking of using. But I am not sure that the compression will be a bit high with a 1961 head. Does anyone have the listed compression ratio for these pistons?

Thanks all

Paul

Just a warning note about the Hepolite pistons and rings, I reckon they reduced the thickness of the rings from 0.0625" to 0.060" around 1959. I bought 1958 rings for a '61 99 and had to have them ground down. My pistons are Hepolite +.030", of unknown date.
