Dear Simon

You wrote:

I read in David Hardcastle's book that the P76 pistons were dimensionally
identical to the 3.5 Rovers - is this not the case?

I had written:

I have measured a 3.5 litre P5B (10.5/1 comp) piston, it's compression 
height was 1.865" 

(and a P76 piston was 1.375" (different block height, stroke, rod length 
and 9/1 comp)).

Reply:
Simon your are absolutely right, I made a typo. It should have been 
1.875" for the P76 piston compression height (0.010" more than the Rover 
piston). Sorry for the comfusion.

Regards 
Peter
