1800cvh is not a very good engine for power to start with. I can't recall why they are not but I just remember a big discussion about it and that the 1800 is not that good when it comes to power/producing it/holding together while producing it.

Sorry!! I don't have any thoughts on the engine!!

As far as I recall from the discussion, there are very little options for pistons if any at all.
