My L13 had the 83mm bore which is the same as a 1600 and it has been bored
100 thou out to 85.5 mm and fitted with Hepolite pistons.
Standard pistons for an L18 are 85mm which would mean at least 80 thou would
have to be bored from a L16 block.
I also fitted the L18 crank which ends up giving around 1820cc.
Regards
Eric
