Repair Questions and Answers
Question: 1969 Triumph Spitfire,
Mk3, mileage: 48,000. We have a '69 Spit that we are
rebuilding, and the incomplete engine we inherited with
the car has cylinder bores quite a bit larger than
stock. We do not have pistons for it. Does anyone make
aftermarket pistons for these engines in a choice of
over-bores? Or, for that matter, are there automotive
machine shops out there that can sleeve one of these
small motors, in much the same fashion as some shops
will sleeve American V-8s?
Answer: Yes. Any good machine
shop should be able to help you. As for direction to go
with new pistons, or to re-sleeve, we would go for the
most cost effective route -- but stock parts can avoid
unforeseen problems. One final thought, double-check
your engine block and pistons to be sure they are the
correct parts.
