Hi guys, found that I had no compression in a few cylinders which was causing my running problems, anyway after pulling things apart I found that someone had bored the engine out but put standard size pistons in! I need a source for buick hi compression pistons at a good price. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks
Randy

Randy, Let's start with bored to ?. Is current bore "munched" as result of wrong pistons/rings ? Silvolite/ Buick and rover 3.5 pistons, still available,(dished). Good Luck, roverman.
