I have recently purchased a CVH block to rebuild and it has come with pistons that have "0 50" etched into the top. does anybody know what this means?

thanks

looks like it's got 0.5mm oversize pistons in it but i'm sure you can get 1mm oversize, maybe more so not a problem

I assume its been bored out. It was bought as a disassembled bottom end.

the other thing is its missing the fifth bearing cap. would it be difficult to source another one as they are numbered?
