The cylinders will physically fit, but T cylinder push rod tubes were moved
further away from the bore for the anticipated 1000cc motors. You may have to
grind a little on the inside of the tubes to get enough clearance for the push
rods. T pistons would not work as they have a lower deck height.
The new piston/cylinder kits coming from Gilardoni have an oval push rod
tube design that allows the same cylinder to be used on the V-700, Ambassador,
Eldorado, V7 Sport, 850 T & T3, only the piston changes depending on the model.
A head gasket made for the oval tubes has to be used with the new cylinders.
