Were the Dykes pistons more reliable than the standard Lambretta ones?
Difficult to say really. In theory, they should have been. The 200cc British championship winning Wildcat sidecar outfit I passengered in 1974 was fitted with a brand new bog standard Lambretta piston between every race outing and never once let us down. Yet the 225cc Wildcat Special was a nightmare for seizures, with or without the Dykes pistons. However the Wildcat 158cc Dykes I rode never once showed any sign of pick up on the piston.
