Hi Gary.
Have you spoken to Burnsy? He has been mucking around with piston sizes & has done some research. I think he has sourced some goodies. He may be able to help.

Hi Gary,
I have just got a set of ACL 3" +0.060 ACL Pistons & Rings for my grey rebuild. They were supplied by the company who performed the rebore & hone and cost $230 +GST for the set - good value when you compare the same set from American Autos.

I believe ACL also have one size 0.060" larger again. I thought these would represent 3 1/16" & 3 1/8" however my pistons measure 3.059" dia  with the bore at 3.0605" - 3 1/16" is 3.0625" by my calculatons.
