1974 1600cc stock, I did a compression test and came up with 1 & 3 were at 90 and 2 & 4 were at 125 I also did a leak down test a it indicated that the rings and piston are gone. I was think about gone to a 87MM piston from the 85.5MM is it worth the effort, any thoughts, thanks

I'd keep it stock. The gains are not enough for the reduction in cylinder wall thickness.

Thanks, Jake that's what I was thinking, if I get this buggy up and running hopefully I can get up there the next tech weekend and run a few rounds through the Barrett 50 cal or 1919A6 with hand crank at the Raby's rifle range.
