hi
i have a sr 175 barrel but want to take it out to use a dt175 piston, will the barrel happily overbore to take this piston, which i believe starts at 66mm, is a iron tv175 barrel a better bet?

id bet it will be a little thin on either cylinder. If you measure the OD of the cylinder sleeve at the base you can do the math and see how much room you have to play with.

I've used iron TV175 cylinders taken out to 64mm with an appropriate piston with very good results.
