I have a set of cosworth piston's I'm considering using in my spit,  
but I can't seem to find supporting information about the alloy used  
or the typical clearances recommended.  I know Venolia and J&E type  
information, but I don't know how to determine what Bore I need to  
build.  If anyone has used cosworth's before, and can advise, I'd  
appreciate it..

Thanks
