As above can anybody give me the correct piston dish capacity of an O/E 850 piston, or if the O/E were flat top ( but I don't think they were) the only figure I can find is 6.5cc which seems a bit high.

I measured the dish diameter at 47mm and the depth at 1.5mm. Using a spherical section calculation the volume comes out at 1.3 cc. That's on a 1966 850.

Legend! Thanks for that, it sounds more realistic.

The factory lists the 12A120 Piston for the 850 dish at 0.87 cc
