I'd like some advice from the "Knowledge Base". I have a '66 Corsa Turbo
convertible. I recently acquired a rebuilt turbo with the early turbine
section, hoping to get better response from the turbo. I know that stock
pistons and elevated boost levels can bring about disaster. I'm about to pull
the top cover to replace the blower bearing, and I thought that while the top
of the engine was open, I might be able to tell what kind of pistons live in
there. I have no idea as to the history of this engine but the P.O.` said
that his P.O. had "rebuilt" the engine. What can I determine by looking at
the bottoms of my pistons? Are there and specific clues as to what might be
in there?
Thanks in Advance
