U need a set of 90.5 mm pistons n Barrels for 1776

If you use 92 mm for 1835 then you have to machine the case and the heads to make them fit also some head work required to unshroud the valves

the 90.5mm 1776 and 92mm 1835 jugs use the same bore size so u can switch without any machining
but 1835 truly are a useless paperweight
steer clear of them if u want an engine that will last and not run hot
i had an 1835 best thing i did was put new mahle 1776 p&c's in it

good advice on the 92s
