Picco Question

[ids987]

A new boater brought a Picco like the one in the picture to a race on Sunday. He bought it on eBay as a .60. It has no stampings on the lugs. I know Picco produced this style in .67 and .80 sizes, but not sure if they produced it as a .60 or a .65. Would anyone here know please ?

Otherwise I'll see if he can measure the bore and stroke - probably safest anyway.

Thanks for any replies received.

If its a one piece case its a 67

Looks like it says p-67 right on the side of the motor lug.

I believe that it is the first version .67 EXR with a steel flywheel.

Sorry, I reread the post and realized the motor in the picture was not the one you were asking about.

Yes Picco built .60's in that same crankcase for tetheard cars. Same crank with smaller bore. I have a new .60 P/L for that engine. It has much higher exhaust timing than the .65 or .67 liner.

Thanks for the replies.

Looks like the consensus is that it could be .60 .65 .67 or .80 (I've got a crankcase, crank and backplate for the .80 version).

So I guess the only way to be sure is to measure it. Only other clue I can think of is the cutout on top of the backplate if it's a .80.

the .65 case said .65 on it that could possibly be an .80 but they would have stamped .80 on the mounting lug. that engine is a .67
