Bought a new KS piston and cylinder kit for 36hp. I think the pistons in the kit are 40hp and the cylinders 36hp. Pistons have a small dome. Has anyone tried this with a ww kit/ heads? Any clearens problemet? Would it be doomed Rolling Eyes to fail with ratio rockers,1.25 1.4 speedwell or other?

i would check for piston to cylinder clearance. 36hp is tighter and 40hp is looser.
