Yeah think your right, il just wait till the final build is done then get on to Shem or Tim and let them do the hard bit! Lol! Thanks for your help buddy :)
Yeah it's a difficult decision :( hopefully if oblark or someone has some larger Pistons at a reasonable cost then I will do it. I just can't justify 600+ pounds for newargwr Pistons and rebore...
