Just a quick question on hepolite pistons. Are these standard in 1275 engines? If not, how can I tell what size they are and whether they are +20 etc or not.

Cheers

AE Hepolite are the largest manufacturer of pistons in the world, they're standard in a lot of things. Need more information to be able to say whether the pistons in your engine are standard for it or not. But as flappy said, oversizes may be stamped in the crown along with other marks. There's numbers cast in the bottom of the crown and stamped in the top. They are probably standard original or standard oversize.

I'm not after any. I have stripped my other engine and the pistons were marked 'hepolite'. Just wanted to know if they were standard or not.
