Can be the piston height above the gudgeon pin or the shape of the dome, or both.

In a similar vein to "show someone how to feed themselves....", what I'll say here is that you need to check the part number of a 2l piston against the part no of a 2.5 piston. If the are the same or interchangeable you can guarantee the rod is the only difference.

When my 1.8T broke the one piston and liner, I used the liner and piston from a Freelander. The difference in compression is caused by the length of the con rod, the pistons were interchangeable, although somebody says they do have different part numbers. I used it and still do but never checked the part numbers, so I don't know.

Oddly, the v6 liner fits the 1.8, but thats all that does. If rover had used any sense they would have made the bore smaller and the stroke longer... |

Hi Reece
Not intending to hijack your thread but just noticed your signature.... What is / how to use... an "auto gearbox pressure tester?" Just curious Regards John (recent change to become an auto owner! :-)

Nothing particularly complicated, there are a couple of tapping points on our gearbox which can help diagnose some of the mechanical problems we have. This is obviously a tool to which can make use of these points
