Dave, the rp2585 piston was used by RPM repco replacement motors west heidelberg factory until 1992 in reconditioned blocks,the measurement from gudgeon pin to the top of piston on a rp2585 to a 2824141 is about 30thou different can only be used in a 9/2e block because of deck height.

cheers

Bollocks. All OEM XU1 202 pistons are 1.675" from centre of gudgeon pin to highest point of piston crown.
