Need 1725cc pistons - Rebuilding engine

[Rodney Shelast]

Hello...I'm having my SV engine rebuilt (British Columbia, Canada) & remaining parts to find are the 1725cc pistons (4). Engine hasn't been bored yet & mechanic indicates that 0.6" pistons will work, or, install of sleeves with regular size pistons. Any suggestions as to a supplier would be great. Other parts are coming from British Parts in Aldergrove, BC...Appreciate your assistance, thank you...

0.6" pistons will work

I think you meant 0.060" oversized.

Thank you for clarification..

0.060" pistons became rare beasts. If you can't find a set how about sleeving the block ?

I would say .060 aren't hard to find.
Rootes post vintage in NL sold them
JP pistons are making them new.
Quite a few on eBay UK.

Rootes Parts in Holland only makes up to 0.050". JP pistons have poor oil ring design from factory. Oil ring switch to proper ones is possible, but requiring additional money. Check the picture:
