Re: [HSS] Re: 1929 Oversize Pistons

Be careful here, there are two different length connecting rods used in the

Super Sixes, with corresponding differences of course in the compression

height of the piston. I'm not sure of the change-over date, but the earlier

long rods had clamped-in wrist pins, and the later shorter rods used full

floating pins held in by circlips.
