Daniel,
Check the comp height on the Z pistons as well. Do any others have the
required comp height suitable for say L16 rods as tom suggested? James mitsi
pistons look like a good alternative as well.

Yeah the bore is the right size Errol, but I checked the ACL catalogue after
Tom's reply last night and sure enought the comp height is 32.10mm on the VL
turbo pistons and 38.10mm on standard L18 pistons. So I think I'll have to
do some more searching.
