| check if your pistons have an oil dripper underneath if it has they can foul on the rods
where as if it does foul then you will have to remove the dripper for clearance

no it will be fine this is from some one else who found the same problem
"As suspected Accralite confirmed all our suspicions that was, in their words, a pip. Apparently “pips” are supposed to be removed as part of the finishing process at the factory. They were very apologetic of their error and advised I was ok to remove the pip myself. So with a dremel in hand I spend a very nerve racking 20 minutes removing the pips from the four pistons."
it has been said the pip is for an oil drip but it wont matter no other piston i know has this pip , oil will be splashing everywhere |

Location: Guildford | You say they ad weight to the pulley to balance the cam, wont this mean altering the cam timing will alter the balance as the weight has been put on the outer rim of the pulley? |
