z1000mk2 pistons

#1 PostAuthor: lescr » Sun Aug 17, 2014 7:31 pm

I am replacing some old and brittle valve guide seals on a late mk2 engine and have been looking at the pistons and was wondering should they have flat or domed tops?

further investigation of pistons shows them to be 73mm diameter which works out at 1105cc. Looks like I have purchased an engine that was running a turbo and big bore kit. Guy I got it off didnt mention that when I was loading it in back of car. Pity it didnt come with turbo would have looked nice bolted to my old Z1R :twisted:
