Depending if you damaged the walls, stay with standard. If you need to have them bored, then go .040 over

Not to go off topic but wow Puerto Rico... I didn't realize SCCA had a lot of racing their. Do you have multiple track or just one? How many cars do you usually get?

Sorry i am of no use to your actual question...

Much easier to find .020 over than .040 over. I think my .040s came from Bildon.

I bought all my 1.8l 16V rebuild parts a few years ago from Raffi at Eurosport.

He was running a 1.8l 16V in ITA on the West Coast, not sure if he still does but he'd be a good person to talk to and get parts from.

P.S. no the replacement parts aren't listed on the website, just give him a ring and tell him what you want.

Raffi is good people. His cousin used to run 24-7parts, and was where I got most of my hard parts. They did have a hard time on the .040 over 8v slugs though.

We can use aftermarket forged parts, as long as they are identical in size and shape to the OEM stuff...

I have a set of good used STD pistons I would sell for $40 plus shipping. All the above listed sources are good, but if you just want a quick repair and your bores are good IM me.
